Dioscorea Elephantipes
Common Name: Elephant’s Foot / Turtle Shell Plant

Dioscorea Elephantipes is a rare and iconic caudiciform succulent known for its spectacular, woody caudex that resembles the cracked shell of a tortoise or the rough foot of an elephant—hence its name. This slow-growing plant develops a sculptural dome over time, with geometric plates that give it a truly prehistoric look.

During its active growing season, it produces delicate vines with heart-shaped green leaves that climb and sprawl in all directions, making it both rugged and elegant in form. Native to South Africa, it thrives in dry climates and is perfect for collectors of unusual, bonsai-style succulents.


☀ Light Requirements
Enjoys bright, indirect sunlight or partial sun. Outdoors, morning sun and afternoon shade are ideal. Indoors, place near a bright window for best growth.


💧 Watering Needs
Water sparingly during the growing season (usually fall to spring), when leaves are present. Once the plant goes dormant and drops its vines, reduce watering significantly or stop completely until new growth appears. Always ensure excellent drainage.


🌡 Temperature Tolerance
Not frost-tolerant. Keep above 45°F. For cold climates or winter shipments, we recommend adding a [Heat Pack] to your order.


✨ Special Features
Tortoise-Shell Caudex – One of the most recognizable and collectible caudiciforms.
Heart-Shaped Leaves – Vining foliage adds contrast and beauty during active growth.
Bonsai-Like Form – Perfect for shallow pots and artistic displays.

Other Common Names:
Elephant’s Foot, Turtle Shell Plant, Hottentot Bread

My husband is tall and thin, we never find shirts with sleaves long enough where he is not swimming in the shirt. The size large fit well both sleave and body.

Stylish, packable warmth layer I'm using for travel the fits and looks great!
Size: Large, Color: Gray, Size: Large, Color: Gray
I like the COOFANDY brand a lot for good looking clothes, that fit me correctly (Large size, for me 180lbs 6'0", athletic build), all at a reasonable price. This Jacket fits me great and looks great, and it's stylish enough that I'll feel comfortable going to museums and restaraunts, etc while we're away in Europe this fall. I bought the gray which looked correct vs images on the web, and a good color in my opinion. My pictures were done in different lighting because of needing to be in front of the mirror, but color is accurate on web. I like having the hood, which will be good for outdoor travel / walking in sometimes rainy weather, and hood looks good down (not too bulky). Zippers seem good quality, and I like zippered pockets, plus there's internal pockets (not zippered) if you desire, and an included stash back for compact packing into my day pack. Sleeve cuffs and right size and nice. Note, that there is no bottom waistline drawstring adjustment, but I don't need such because it fits me great and I wanted something more city and less outdoorsy. Really like this jacket for my need, outer layer for city type travel while staying warm and looking good.
