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 itās been getting longer day by day. Iāve 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!
