Elephantipes are so much fun. I have one in my collection and I was just telling my husband how much I love that plant. It takes a little while to start vining, but once it gets going those dainty little heart shaped leaves are so very pretty and she just keeps spitting out inches upon inches after every watering. I trellised mine and there's probably 15' of vine now and she started putting out her vine in earnest about 2 months ago. The foliage is very delicate looking. This one shipped with a vine, but I expect the vine to die off post transit because I am almost certain shipping her will trick the caudex back into a dormant state for a period of time and I expect her to kill off the vine to conserve energy, but if she does as soon as you wake her back up you can expect her to slowly start putting out the vine again (and it's possible she may keep it too). It's just hard to say. She measures in at about 2.25" across.

Photos were taken by the cultivating farm. The video was taken post-transit at Cedar Creek Farmhouse. Our videos for this year's Black Friday Collection were taken no earlier than November 20th, 2020 and no later than November 26th, 2020. This means that any video you see today was taken within this past week, and some even more recent. Plants can change after they arrive, as they are living things. Slight changes can be expected and it's a natural part of the settling in process these plants go through as they reacclimate to their new home.
