Dioscorea Elephantipes

Elephantipes are so much fun. I have one in my collection and I was just telling my husband last week how much I love that plant. It takes a little while to start vining, but once it gets going those dainty little heart shaped leaves are so very pretty and she just keeps spitting out inches upon inches after every watering. I trellised mine and there's probably 15' of vine now (and she started putting out her vine in earnest about 2 months ago). The foliage is very delicate looking.

This one shipped with a vine, but I expect the vine to die off post transit because I am almost certain shipping her will trick the caudex back into a dormant state for a period of time and I expect her to kill off the vine to conserve energy... but if she does, as soon as you wake her back up you can expect her to slowly start putting out the vine again (and it's possible she may keep it too). It's just hard to say. She measures in at about 1.75" across.

Tonight's listing is a carry over from plants we didn't get to last night. Photos were taken pre-transit by the farms that cultivated the plants. Our video clips were shot on December 4th, 2020. We will be shipping everything sold this past week on Monday, thank you so much for your patience!
