Description

The listing, 5 Elephant Ear Plants!! has ended.

Hi just wanted to say that our plants are growing in the ground until there is a winner. We will collect the largest plants for you. And in order to get these into the box I must cut the plants down to the bulb and they grow back fast! You will get a healthy batch of 5 elephant ear plants!!! Characteristics of Elephant Ear Plants:
In landscaping, elephant ears are grown for their large, heart-shaped leaves. While these leaves can reach 3' long and 2' wide in the tropics, in the North they will remain a little smaller -- but still impressive. Elephant ear plants can grow 8' tall in the tropics; in the North, a height of 2'-5' is more common (depending on growing conditions. Sun and Soil Requirements for Elephant Ear Plants:
Grow elephant ears in a slightly acidic soil in partial shade. As a wetland plant in the wild, elephant ear plants crave water. This makes them a good choice for wet areas where homeowners usually have trouble finding suitable plants. However if taken care of they can be grown in pots, a nice spot in the yard, and make great house plants. Plant Care for Elephant Ears:
Elephant ears are heavy feeders; fertilize them with a fertilizer high in nitrogen. Elephant ear plants are tropical but can be overwintered in cold climates. Just dig up the corms (bulbs) and keep them in a cool, but not freezing basement or garage, as you would store canna bulbs. During this period of dormancy, make sure the corms neither rot nor totally dry out. Replant in spring when danger of frost has passed.

hi, these would be live plants,we will have to cutt the leaves back for shipping,you will get a nice root ball with a couple inches of stem,after planting you will have new growth in just a few days to a week, with the bulbs you would have a longer wait for root development, thanks

I would recommended treating these like a cannabis,if your soil freezes I would bring them in for the winter,they do very well in pots. ours have grown outside with temps down in the low 30s with no problems

I'm in SW Florida and we have a real long rainey season so I guess they would be good here and not have to winterize them. If I win can you send me the little write up on the care and feeding of them please?

Will they grow in shade or partial sun? My house has alot of trees around it and so there aren't many things I can grow. Hope these will work here.

hi, we are actually located out in the big thicket national forest,completely understand the shade problem. mostof ours are growing in almost no sunlight,filtered light and some in full sun,I noticed they grow larger in shade.in the tropics they would be in the same inviroment they also make good houseplants
