I have several Dorstenia that I've been growing for about 5 months. Initially, the flowers would develop and I would see maturing seed pods and then the flowers would turn an orange-yellow color and die. Know how easily they can rot from over watering, I've been especially careful; something I'm not particularly great at! I have new growth and the plants all look healthy but the flowers don't even start developing seed pods, they just turn orange (see picture). Currently, they are in my greenhouse receiving about 6 hrs of sun or good light with temps reaching mid 80's to mid 90's and good air circulation. What's with this? Too much sun... too much heat.... not enough water? I'm doing something wrong to have the flowers blast before they even get out of the box! Could someone who knows or has been more successful help me out here. I understand there will be cultural differences based on location.
