# Discorea elephantipes - does anyone have experience with these? Mine…

_Posted by Wolfen 🐺 on 2024-12-02_

Discorea elephantipes - does anyone have experience with these? Mine is apparently refusing to go into dormancy. My other caudex, a baboon cuc. that goes dormant is on its way, but this guy is just green as hell and buddy buddy with his P. Bronze friend. Should I force a dormancy? I know dormancy can very for them, unlike the other ones. But this was the largest vine from him I got this year, and now this 🙄. it's on a lower shelf and gets mostly only morning light in a south window (less light than the baboon). Temp in the 50-70°F. Humidity around 55 with spikes of 70 when I mist.

Let it naturally go dormant on its own
