There is no conflict between a person's inner gentleness and fortitude, nor is there a conflict between the hardness and elegance of a flower. --Inscription. This magical species from South Africa needs to accompany you for a long time, many times of rain, and many times of sunshine, from an inconspicuous little potato to a giant with deep concave and convex shapes like dragon scales.

The South African Dioscorea is also known as Dioscorea elephantipes, and its Latin name is Dioscorea elephantipes. There are actually many kinds of Dioscorea elephantipes, and it is easy to get confused, but let’s start with the simplest one.

The origin of the South African Tortoiseshell Dragon is South Africa Cape Province, this name may not be very familiar to people, but when it comes to the Cape of Good Hope, many people may know it. Cape Province is also called the Cape of Good Hope Province, which is the tip at the bottom of South Africa. The Cape of Good Hope has a Mediterranean climate, with mild and rainy winters and dry and hot summers. This also leads to the South African species of turtles being dormant in summer (high temperature dormancy) and growing in winter and spring (low temperature growth). Elephantipes in the Latin name means elephant toe, so Tortoiseshell also has other names: Elephant's foot yam and Elephant's foot yam. Of course, the most accepted name is Turtle-shelled Dragon. Turtle-shelled dragon has actually been in the eyes of Chinese players for some time. From the beginning, everyone thought of it as a "slow-growing behemoth" to the potted roots that can grow lushly in most places across the country. We have already known about it. We have enough understanding - when cultured properly, its growth is not slow at all, and the changes every year are even surprising.

Turtle-shelled dragons can grow in an obvious cycle every year, that is, new vines begin to sprout in early autumn, burst into lush growth in winter, and gracefully shed all their leaves in summer, waiting for the next autumn.

I recommend it to everyone who loves life People who love life should breed the South African Tortoiseshell, because in the process of breeding the Tortoiseshell, you can feel the contractual relationship with the Tortoiseshell. We make an appointment to meet again on a specific day every year. Sometimes the germination occurs earlier. You will feel happy. Sometimes it comes a little later. Although you are worried, you are also looking forward to it. Every summer, I wait for it to sleep peacefully and take care of its aftermath. I find this kind of tacit understanding and covenant keeping between people and plants full of fun. If you treat it well, it will work hard to grow for you, don't toss it, understand and take care of it. In the cooperation between humans and plants year after year, you find that the tortoise-shell dragon grows rapidly, turning from a weak potato into a domineering giant. This satisfaction, achievement, and experience are other things. It is very difficult to achieve. If there is anything that can surpass this achievement, it may be to train the next generation to be able to match it.
