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

Perfect fit.
Size: Large, Color: Dark Gray
I’m 5’9”, about 180 lbs. I got an L based on the Amazon recommendation. The size chart showed the pants being a 36” which is big for me but it’s those that stretch so if you’re a 34” like me, it’ll fit perfectly. No alterations needed for me. Great fit, good looking suit, nice material. I immediately bought another and hope it fits as good as this one. Genuinely impressed.

Great quality, better than a rental.
Size: 4X-Large, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 4X-Large, Color: Navy Blue
This suit was a pleasant surprise in quality! Just note, sizing isn’t perfect since it’s a set, so the pants were really long and the waist slightly bigger than my husband’s actual size, as we had to fit for his chest and shoulders. However, we were able to hem the pants quite easily and he just wore a belt which worked perfectly. For the price and quality you receive, well worth it. We ended up using a different tie than given so it would match my dress. Worth every cent even if worn once since rentals are way more expense. This held up for a full 8hrs of schmoozing and dancing and is still in great shape.
