This is why you should think twice before throwing away a plant. I tried my hand at this Dioscorea elephantipes but soon after he arrived, he lost all his leaves and looked dead. I blamed myself for too much water coupled with bad lighting. Still, this situation bugged me so I did some reading and found these things hibernate in the summer so I rushed to the garbage can and dug him out. After about a month in a grow cabinet, look what happened! A tiny stalk started to emerge and it’s been getting longer day by day. I’ve had so much fun guiding it to grow around this bamboo trellis and I hope the leaves start developing soon! If anyone has a plant like this, please give me your best tips!

    If you zig zag starting at the base it will promote growth where the leaves would grow and push more vines up.
