I posted about a month ago asking for help as my first Dorstenia was suffering from repot/new environment shock (image 2).
It looks to have bounced back completely now (it actually only took about 2 weeks) and is in a very healthy state!
The initial repot was into a teracotta pot as seen in the second image, but I was told they aren't ideal for Dorstenias so I took a risk while it was still early into the shock and repotted it again (as non-intrusively as possible) into a ceramic pot as a long-term solution.
Still learning proper care as I'm more used to the watering schedule of succulents, while these are supposedly thirstier for frequent waterings, but it's been very rewarding so far!

OP just a minor correction: Dorstenia lavrani (no “a” at the end). Great plant!!
Great looking plant!
Yup, nice. Dorstenia as a genus tend to be finicky, but they sure bounce back. Also nice current pot, I have the same one lol. I keep a pachypodium Namaquanum in it!
