I won't be able to help since don't have any of these plants - just wanted to mention that posting photo will help a lot. Indicating your general location/zone is helpful too (but I imagine you are somewhere close to SF since you mentioned the sale there)

I have a few Monadenium, but a different species. They love as much sun as you can give them, and very little water. Mine turns a nice red in full sun, with a nice pattern on the stem. t I only water mine sparingly in summer, and they thrive. Monadeniums are easy prey to root rot, so when in doubt about watering, don't!

Thanks for your help. I noticed about 5+really good leaf buds on my monadenium this morning, so I am not as worried. I am in sunset western zone 14. USDA zone 9. I also moved my plant rack out into full sun last night and put all my plants back on them. I want to get a pic of the leaves on my Dorstenia up thats the the only other one I can think of that needs some help. When I repotted it after taking it home It exploded with leaf growth. I got so many leaves and flowers I couldnt see the plant anymore but then they started getting very blotchy with rust colored marks on them. I will get pictures up later and thats a conversation for a new thread. :) thanks for taking a look at my post. I am definitely going to cut back on watering though. I water once a week. But I think I should water once every 2 weeks now to let it rebound a little in case I stressed it from watering. I only have had one plant rot about two months ago it was a euphorbia suzanna (Spelling?) i tossed it in my compost pile. it had different soil than the one I make I mix double the amount of horticulture sand into cactus soil from home depot as well as double the amount of perlite to cactus soil a. Its a very fast draining soil and seems to work well for me right now. I live in Sacramento but am originally raised in Florida where the soil is naturally very sandy. I try to recreate that since it was a tropical climate.
