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

Nice Quality Socks
Color: Coyote Brown, 3 Pack, Size: Large, Color: Coyote Brown, 3 Pack, Size: Large
Hate shopping for clothes online, even for socks. Looked at lots of different brands and settled on these due to their customer reviews which seemed positive. I ordered 2 of the 3 packs of the coyote brown in the large size. The color is pretty accurate to the advertisement. You can see my picture of the new sock unrolled straight out of the box alongside a tape measure that shows the length. The socks seem like they are very good quality. The aren't thin or see through like some of the cheaper options I considered. To me the are similar in thickness to a name brand white tube sock like Hanes or Fruit of the Loom. The large size is 18 1/2 inches long in it's natural shape and easily stretches over the calf but below the knee. I wanted to lighten the color to more closely match my work pants and tried washing them 5 times with bleach mixed in the washer. They held their color, and elasticity even with the bleach, so I didn't get the color change I was hoping for but goes to show that under normal washing (without bleach) the color won't likely fade anytime soon. The have great stretch and elasticity and stay up above the calf all day without sliding down. Definitely ordering these again when needed.

Good replacement for GI socks
Color: Green, 4 Pack, Size: Medium
I ordered these for my son, he’s in the military and the socks they issued him were all getting holes worn in the top of the toe area from his work boots. So I ordered him some of these to supplement his normal ones. He said they’re pretty comfortable, we’ll see how they hold up after he wears them for awhile. But initially I’d say they’re a good buy. Points for the affordability.

New Socks (Finally)
Color: Green, 4 Pack, Size: Large
I haven’t treated myself to new boot socks in WAY too long and all my old ones were starting to get holes in them, so I figured it was time. These were easily the best deal, being really soft and comfortable for a decent price. Hopefully they last a long time!
