Elephantopus carolinianus aka Carolina Elephantsfoot

With its straightforward care requirements, Carolina Elephantsfoot is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Carolina Elephantsfoot should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Carolina Elephantsfoot loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Carolina Elephantsfoot prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

No verified data on the toxicity of this plant exists within Ploi's records. Should you, someone in your family, or your pet ingest plant material with an unknown toxicity level, it is recommended to seek medical advice.

New growth will sprout from the top of the Carolina Elephantsfoot as it grows vertically.
