happyjillin Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Elephant foot plant about 4 1/2 ft. high. It needs to be planted in the ground. This is the second pot it's cracked. In ground they can grow quite tall and we just don't have room for it. pedro kertesz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 We have one potted in a metal pot that it can't break. It got so big and now just stays the same. You might want to try that. Plenty of metal pots to be found in Tonala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they as aesthetically pleasing as the pot it's in now? pedro kertesz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibarra Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 We have one about the same size. We put it in a large plastic pot, then put the plastic pot in a terracotta pot like you now have. Been that way for 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcscats Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 We have ours in a very large similar pot to yours. Its about twice as large as yours with no problems. Here is an idea put it in a big plastic pot and put that in a nice looking pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 We have a ponytail palm. It burst the pot and we planted it in the soil and it is doing great but they will outgrow a pot in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted July 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 This is still available because the person that said they would take it has not made arrangements as they said they would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
