Dioscorea Elephantipes
Unlike anything else—this 5-year-old, seed-grown Dioscorea elephantipes grows a cracked, woody caudex that resembles a tortoise shell or an ancient fossil. Its brown-gray surface forms intricate patterns, each segment telling a story of slow growth and survival. In season, it sends out thin, vining stems with delicate heart-shaped green leaves, creating a contrast between strength and softness.
Rooted in a 4" HPC pot with a 90% granular mix, it prefers bright light and a dormant cycle that echoes its native South African rhythms.
More than a plant—it’s living mythology, a sculptural oddity from the edge of time.
