Dioscorea elephantipes in a pot with a diameter of 8.5 cm. Dioscorea pox. A real freak, the succulent plant called elephant's foot.
it is one of those nuggets that is not only worthy, but also so long-lasting that it can be very often - passed down from generation to generation! Also because, despite its unique appearance, it is a plant that requires extremely simple maintenance. It will like to grow in full sun, but it won't hurt too much diffused light. The elder Keik is already forming its scaly stem and in late summer or autumn it blooms with greenish-yellow star-shaped flowers.
one of his curiosities, which not infrequently drives growers into a panic, is that the plant decides when to rest by itself, regardless of the growing conditions, the season, and regardless of what its brothers think, even when growing in the same pot. Tired and everything, he drops the leaves and sleeps for a couple of weeks to a couple of months!
he is heat-loving, so even during periods of growth and rest, he should not be allowed to experience temperatures lower than 18 degrees for a long time.
