Plant Type:	Dioscorea

The Item up for auction is 20 seeds of the Rare succulent

Dioscorea elephantipes

“Elephant’s Foot”.

Seed harvested November 2009

This South African plant is a very unusual succulent. Its main feature is a large, corky caudex that grows up to one meter in habitat, resembling an elephant's foot (hence the popular name). The caudex looks dead but is actually a living tuber. A plant with a 18" caudex can be 75 years or older. The plant also grows an annual vine with attractive heart-shaped leaves and small yellow flowers.

Culture is relatively easy. A greenhouse is great, but a windowsill with moderate to full sun works fine, as long as the plant is kept at 65ºF minimum. The vines may die back and regrow several times a year, depending on the particular plant and your region.

A must have plant for the serious or amateur cacti, cactus or succulent plant grower
