🐘 Elephant’s Foot Grow and Care Instructions 🐘

Use sandy loam with very well-rotted compost. Sow the seeds in March or April (southern hemisphere). By April of the following year the plants should be strong enough to be planted in a small plastic pot.

Elephant’s Foot plants thrive in warm climates and prefer hot temperatures. You should keep your Elephant’s Foot plant at around 65°F (18°C) minimum for it to thrive. If you live in an area with a colder climate or where temperatures during winter go under 65°F (18°C), you should keep your plant indoors.

Elephant’s Foot plants love sunny spots where they get direct bright light. They can also adapt to partial sun. Ideally, keep your Elephant’s Foot plant in a place where it gets enough sun in the morning and partial shade in the afternoon. It would be best if you can find a spot where the tuber stays shaded, and the vines of the plant can reach into brighter light.

Your Elephant’s Foot plant will also need some feeding to grow healthy and to live up to seventy years. We recommend using a balanced fertilizer at one-quarter strength about once a month when the plant isn’t dormant.

Elephant’s Foot plants go into a dormant period once or even several times a year. Before the dormancy period, you’ll notice that your plant’s vines turn a bit yellow and die back. This is the time when the plant needs to be watered less and needs no more fertilizer. When the vines are thoroughly dry, it means that the plant has officially gone dormant, which is when you need to cut back on water completely and move your Elephant’s Foot plant to a cool spot.

The roots of these plants aren’t deep, meaning that you can plant them in shallow pots filled with porous, well-draining potting soil. Why is it necessary to use well-draining potting soil? Elephant’s Foot plants don’t like wet feet and are prone to root rot. Thus, you need to provide your plant with well-draining soil that allows the water to pass through it.

If you plant your Elephant’s Foot plant outdoors, remember its lighting requirements so that you choose a spot in your garden where its vines get enough sunlight to grow happy and healthy.
