hensley Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Has anyone seen pots for plants that are Elephants? The ones I bought almost 10 years ago need to be replaced and we bought them in Ixtlahuacan but that place has been gone for years. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 I think what you are looking for is called Pata de Elephante. Most viveros should have them. Elephant foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 It's not just the pata, it's the whole elephant and the place where you put the plant is in the middle of the elephant's back. Used to have one and broke the elephant trying to get out an overly well rooted plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 So, Hensely, you have an elephant foot plant and you are looking for new pots to put them in. It sounds like Ferret is describing a special pot that is shaped like an elephant to put an elephant foot plant in. That sounds cute, but I always thought you could put them in any type pot as long as it was large enough. I didn't know that there are special pots only for elephant foot plants. Maybe, I just don´t understand your question very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudgirl Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 OP said nothing about an elephant foot plant. Reads clear to me that he wants a pot shaped like an elephant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dichosalocura Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Most likely the phrase pots for plants that are elephants is what got us all confused. Yeah, I think you guys are probably right about this one. The OP is looking for a pot in the shape of an elephant, nothing to do with an elephant foot plant. I guess I got confused by what the following posters wrote. But I still stand by my original thought that putting an elephant foot plant in an elephant shaped pot sounds kind of cool in an elephant kind of way.

ComputerGuy Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 We bought a hilarious donkey/a.s.s. planter on the side of the road in Ajijic some years back, and over the course of time the yard guys have broken first one foot, then another, til now the poor thing sits on stumps.... but I love the ridiculous "hee-haw" grin it sports, and wish I could find another.

RVGRINGO Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Maybe pots for elephants, or for elephants to use. It is a grey area, isn‘t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, especially since elephants have been painting in Thailand. I wonder how large their paint pots are. I didn`t know they paint in grey areas, though. It must be more comfortable for them since they themselves are grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
