Operculicarya decaryi – Elephant Tree Baby Daddy

The Operculicarya decaryi, often called the Elephant Tree, is a rare and highly sought-after succulent tree native to the arid, rocky regions of Madagascar. Known for its beautifully gnarled trunk, textured bark, and fine, fern-like foliage, this miniature version captures all the charm of an ancient bonsai in the making. With time, it develops twisting branches and a sculptural caudex that feels both rugged and refined.

In its natural habitat, the Elephant Tree endures long dry seasons by storing water in its thick trunk—giving each one its signature sturdy, character-filled form. Its combination of resilience, elegance, and bonsai personality makes it a cherished favorite for collectors and design lovers alike.

Care Tips

Light: Loves bright, direct sun for several hours a day to maintain compact growth and strong branching.
Water: Water sparingly—allow soil to dry completely between waterings.
Temperature: Keep above 60°F (16°C). Protect from frost and prolonged cold.
