Sometime succulents loose bottom leaves when acclimating to their new environment. The mammoth elephant bush is one of the largest species of elephant bush. It gets its name from the large round leaves that extend from its stems. The leaves are bowl-shaped and about the same size as a U.S. quarter. Their stems are usually brown but can sometimes be a rusty red color instead. Because the leaves are so big, only 4 to 5 grow on a stem simultaneously. They are typically 8 to 12 feet (2.4 to 3.7 meters) tall in the wild. While they do not often grow this tall when kept in individual pots or gardens, they can still reach extensive heights. Hardy to Zone 9/28°F. Tolerant of light frost but best to provide protection. Watering The mammoth elephant bush is a very relevant and durable plant. It can go a long time without water. You can water it once every 2 to 3 weeks, and the plant’s health should stay perfectly fine. One thing to be cautious of is that since their leaves are large, you will need to move them to let the water effectively seep into the soil’s surface. This process applies whether you use a squeeze bottle or not. Soil and Pot Conditions Dry soil is the best soil for mammoth elephant bushes. A combination of cactus soil with sand suits this plant the best. In terms of pot sizes, a medium pot will work until the plant begins to expand out of it. Then, a large pot will give all the extra room for the roots to spread. You can hang this plant, though it may overgrow the pot or get too heavy very quickly. Lighting Mammoth elephant bushes do best when in full sun or partial shade. They need lots of light to grow to their full sizes. However, direct sun can harm the exterior leaves more than good if the plant is left there for extended periods. Propagation It is possible to propagate your mammoth elephant bush. You will need to cut in between the leaves as they are spaced out with significant gaps. CLICK HERE FOR MORE EXOTIC PLANTS
