Grandma buried a turtle in a flower pot, and after a while it actually sprouted, and the neighbors all came knocking to see!

Grandma loves growing flowers and vegetables at home, with flowers to enjoy all year round and more vegetables than she can eat all summer long. But a few months ago, Grandma buried a turtle in a flower pot, and strangely enough it sprouted on its own. When the neighbors heard about it, they came to the house in little groups to see this curiosity. What on earth was going on? Let's take a look.

It turns out that what Grandma was growing in the flower pot was a Testudinaria elephantipes (Elephant's Foot), which looks just like a turtle shell. It is said to be one of the most famous succulents. Grandma says the Elephant's Foot is very easy to keep alive, and it can thrive even without much watering normally!

The biggest characteristic of the Elephant's Foot is that it grows in the cool cold season of winter and goes dormant in the high heat of summer. It likes a warm, dry environment with plenty of sunlight. Autumn is officially the growing season for the Elephant's Foot; its leaves gradually grow larger and its trailing stems extend as well. At this time it needs more water to keep the soil moist, along with some appropriately diluted liquid fertilizer, so that it can grow quickly.

In winter, if the room temperature is above 15°C and there is sufficient light, it can keep growing. During routine care, let it receive plenty of light during the day, pay attention to keeping it warm at night, and just water and fertilize it normally.

Ever since Grandma started growing the Elephant's Foot at home, her daughter has found it very fun. In summer it stays quiet and motionless, and when autumn comes it quietly begins to grow green leaves, looking adorably cute. If fellow plant lovers like it, why not try growing a pot at home!
