Dioscorea Elephantipes — the fascinating Elephant's Foot plant with a distinctive corky caudex that looks like a tortoise shell. A slow-growing, long-lived collector succulent that becomes more characterful with age.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
You will receive one healthy Dioscorea Elephantipes live plant with an established caudex, carefully grown in our California nursery. The plant you receive will be similar in size to the one pictured. Natural variation in caudex shape and texture is normal — each is one of a kind.
CARE TIPS
Light: Bright light with some direct sun; loves warmth.
Water: Water sparingly — allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering in dormancy.
Humidity & Temperature: Does well in dry household air. Keep above 50°F (10°C).
Soil: A very well-draining, gritty cactus/succulent mix.
Extra tip: The vine may go dormant and drop leaves seasonally — this is normal. The caudex stores water, so when in doubt, water less.
SHIPPING
Your plant ships from our California nursery in secure, eco-conscious packaging designed to keep it safe in transit. We ship on select days to avoid weekend delays. Please track your package and unbox promptly on arrival.
PLEASE NOTE
Plants are living things and may show minor cosmetic imperfections from nursery life. Caudex plants grow slowly. If you have any questions about your plant, message us — we're happy to help it thrive in your home.
