Fantastic overview of one of my favorite plants!
Additional tips from a Dioscorea collector:
- Repotting while in vine can force it to go into dormancy. It's ideal to repot them while dormant, in order to maintain its natural growth cycle.
- Many growers insist on covering the entire caudex, which they find can drastically increase the size of the caudex vs having it sit on top of the soil line. Of course, while it's under the soil it is more prone to rot, so using an inorganic mix (like what Summer is using) is necessary
-Seedlings will be unlikely to climb. Giving them a trellis (not just a metal U) and training them to vine, will drastically increase its growth. As it matures, the plant will naturally want to vine in order to grow at a faster pace.
- There are a few non-caudex species, like Dioscorea Discolor, that can be propagated via cuttings.
- Dioscorea are dioecious, meaning each plant is either male or female. Thus, in order to produce seeds, you'll need both a female and male plant to pollinate
- Certain species are highly poached, such as Dioscorea Mexicana. Ensure sellers are propagating from seed, instead of poached from nature, in order to help maintain the populations in their natural habitat.
what happens when the leaves go yellow
Time to start another channel detailing terrarium care for Mrs. Anole and the kids lol
I love to watch you re pot. You're the only one who teaches us "how to care for our plants, the soil to use, the difference between perlite and vermiculite."
You Rock!
Love this little cutie patutie. Look at those beautiful leaves. Thanks for sharing Summer, it's always so great to see you🌱
I've never owned one of these and it would be awesome to find one! Wow! So stunning in so many ways
My husband's never been intrested in my plant hobby until now!
He's taking notes ✏️...🌿+🧔=💪🏋️♂️👀
Summer, you are one of the best I have learned so much from your videos. Keep doing what you're doing I learn new things every time I watch you.
Superb video, thanks very much from an english fan.
I am considering getting a elephantipes and your video helped to clear up a lot of my questions/made me feel more at ease! Thank you Summer!
Always learning something watching your vids.
I missed your repotting videos 😊👍
Thanks for the entertainment during the year! I live next to Gothenburg botanic garden, and was happy to hear that You liked it. Merry Christmas!
Love learning about new a plant and her needs❤
thanks Summer... you always give the best tips & tricks
Please make these videos, they are so informative! Love watching all your Plant One On Me videos! 😍
I have one of these but I forgot what it was called, so when it lost its leaves last year I totally panicked, and was so relieved when it grew new ones just as I was giving up and planning to throw it out... glad to learn 1) what it's called again and 2) losing its leaves is normal!
Thank you Ms. Summer, very interesting.🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄❄️💚🙃
I bought some seeds of these guys after you mentioned them in a video in 2020. They’re doing great! I can’t wait until they’re super big hehe
Where did you buy them?
@@meinkanal4634 I got mine on Etsy!
Thank you for bringing this plant to my attention!
I’m in love 💚
And babies!!!

I remember my horticultural science professor talking about a plant he had (maybe a tree?) he was the palm man. Loved him! I didn’t get a good grade because I always struggled in school but yet I learned so much from him! 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🪴💚
The plan pots look beautiful!
Great information! Thank you! I’ve had mine for about 8 months and it’s doing fantastic!
I have more than enough houseplants and should not add to my collection. But this one looks so interesting! It would be hard to resist. Such an interesting video. Thank you!
I'm the same! Between her channel and the horticulture studies department at my place of work, I have absolutely no control
I bought about 10 seeds for a couple of Euros 2 years ago, they all sprouted and the caudex are only about 3-3.5 cm wide. Every time I have a thrips infestation they all get the chop which makes pest management easy considering they have never failed to sprout again. I should repot and expose the caudex but I keep forgetting. Speaking of caudex plants, my Stephania erecta bulbs was dormant for 2 years before they decided to wake up. It was your collab with Terrascapes garden centre in Singapore that made me confident in chopping the vines down to the caudex during off-season/dormant periods. I would have thought I've failed again at keeping a plant alive.
I have one too. There’s so much bad information online about them. Once I started watering more it shot out so many leaves.
This was a great video about this interesting and goofy plant!
summer, from my experience with this plant, exposing the bulb too early will never get this plant to look like the specimen photos online. The shield is a kinda bark that forms naturally with time as the vital part underneath grows bigger. however, if the bulb doesnt grow to a decent size first, lets say four or five inches and then the bark starts to split, the split pattern will inveitably look weird. if the ball is big to start with, when when it splits,each section is more likely to get a bigger and more even.
Did you ever cover care tips for when the plant isn't dormant? I was waiting to see how you water it during the growing season.
'Elephantipes' is a combination of two Greek words, the latter being 'pes', which means 'foot'. 'Elephantipes' therefore means 'elephant's foot'.
I just found your channel and I love it ! Woohoo 🥳 anyway I noticed you like that soil , try cactus Jack bonsai mix. You’ll love it thank you.
Pumice. Does not float like perlite. Better. My nursery had custom potting soil made that was so great in Oregon (where all the nurseries are). Dioscorea grows pretty quickly here in Tucson. Mine has doubled in less than 2 years. Considerably larger than the one in the video. I suggest a small trellis for the pot. 18" tall or so for young plant. Looks good and compact when grown on the structure. I think you would have been happy if you had given the plant a pot 50% larger than the one you chose. They are not slow, and they can respond to sufficient size. I do agree that sharp drainage is good. Oh, you finally got to a minor trellis.
Pumice also drains helps soild drainage more than perlite sue to its bigger size and not breaking down, both are good though
Loved your book 💗
❤❤❤
Love this little series
❤
Please do continue this
❤
There’s just not much info on this plant online so this is gold for me
Recently acquired a baby
One
I relate to killing it by forgetting
I forgot about my Stephanie erecta and it never came back ❤
It just shrivelled and dried up
Would you still recommend watering when it’s dormant?
Just to make sure the roots don’t dry up ?
The ending of the name "pes" refers to "foot" so it is Elephant-foot.
I'm dying to know how these plants know what time of the year it is! If they're not taking a cue from the weather/light, then what makes these plants stick to their original growing cycle, even if they're grown from seed here in the northern hemisphere?
They do take a cue from the weather, when it's too sunny and hot they go into dormancy, also they go into dormancy if there being stressed, every plant takes cues from nature, there not psychic are they 😂
That’s odd, the ones I have sprouted in spring an now the leaves are gone, so it acted opposite of what it should have. 🤔 Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays💚
I need to ask , how much do they need water during dormancy ?
Looking forward to your new "anole care" channel! HA!
It's not a tumor!
I bought one at a cacti and succulent show years ago and it died. I haven't seen one since.
I'm working on one of the tallest building in the city. You can see it from my garden and vice versa. Dora the plant explorer. Gfl.
How do you get your leaves so big? My vines are 6 feet long but the leaves are super small. Is it about sun?
Would you recommend top dressing for more than just aesthetics? Also! My Stephania erecta started sprouting in the fall 🤔 idk what to do with it
💚🌿💚🌿
I have one of this also. I heard that this plant is poisonous. Is this true?
You described to a T how my amaryllis bulb died 😅
How to tell if your elephantepies is male or female?
mama anoel😁
👍👍👍🌹🌻
Looks more like a tortoise shell
