Dioscorea elephantipes, also known as Elephant’s Foot, is a unique caudiciform succulent native to South Africa. It features a distinctive, woody, turtle-shell-like caudex that stores water, making it highly drought-tolerant. During its growing season (autumn to spring), it produces climbing vines with heart-shaped leaves, which naturally die back when the plant enters dormancy in summer.
This is one of our favorite plants—the intricate contours on its caudex are a beautiful testament to the passage of time.
Care Instructions:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or partial sun.
- Watering: Water sparingly during the growing season; keep dry during dormancy.
- Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions but should be protected from frost.
- Soil: Well-draining, sandy soil is ideal.
- Dormancy: Leaves will naturally die back in summer—avoid watering until new growth appears.
Perfect for collectors and succulent enthusiasts, Dioscorea elephantipes is a fascinating addition to any plant collection.
