Description

The listing, (10) Elephant ear plants (live 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 10 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 smaller -- but still impressive. Elephant ear plants can grow 8' tall in the tropics; in the North, a height of 2'-3' 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. 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 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. Please send your address threw listia "Verified address". thanks!!

Please don't hesitate to bid on these. I won the last auction and when I got the well wrapped plants, they were all in good shape, and growing in the package! I highly recommend!

Im not sure? We lived in Phoenix for a little while, but i dont recall seeing them there. I can say, that they would do good there, with mild winters you wouldnt have to dig them up when it got cold, we keep ours in the ground all year. As far as sunshine for elephant ears you want part sun, they grow larger leaves with indirect sun. And do great in planters in the house. Good houseplant.
