Hardiness

Adenia glauca, also known as Elephant's Foot, is a rare caudiciform succulent that forms a hairless green caudex (i.e., a fat trunk), which grows fatter as it reaches maturity. The base of the cylindrical caudex can grow up to 3.3 feet (1 m) wide with vine of up to 10 feet (3 m). Its leaves are pale grayish-green with rounded margins and shed annually. Adenia glauca has the most leaves during the warm season, which is also its growing season.

Inconspicuous cream flowers appear in early spring. Adenia glauca are either male or female plants.

The sap of Adenias is poisonous, so do not ingest and be extra careful when pruning or handling them to avoid skin irritation or allergic reaction.

Plants may be shipped bare root.

It is ideal to expose the leaves to bright light while keeping the caudex in the shade.

Water thoroughly only when soil is dry to the touch and let drain completely, especially if you live in areas with high humidity. Otherwise, Adenia glauca can be watered regularly. Reduce watering in cold winter when the plant goes dormant.

Porous, fast draining soil.

Protect from frost in cold winter. Temperatures above 50°F (10°C) are optimal.

Propagate by seeds. One male Adenia and one female Adenia are needed to produce seeds.

Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.

How does one propagate a plant with a caudex? I assume it is way beyond my level of expertise but I am just curious.

Hi Jan,

Thanks for asking. They can actually be propagated from cuttings. First take a cutting at least 6” tall and let the cutting to dry out for 2-3 days, then wet the end of the desert rose cutting and dip it in rooting hormone. Plant it in well-drained mix. They should grow roots in 2-3 weeks.

Are the Adenia glaucas you sell started from seed? I would like to order one so please let me know. I only want a seed started one. Thank-you.

Hi. I bought one of these plants awhile ago and loved it. This month the leaves all turned yellow and fell off. (I water it infrequently so it is not overwatered) Is this normal? Does the plant go dormant over the winter? Thanks.

Yup it is completely normal, the plant is healthy and the leaves are supposed to fall off
