🐘ELEPHANT EAR PLANT CARE🐘

High drama and bold texture are the signature benefits of showcasing elephant ears in a garden or container. Growing them is simple — they like filtered sun or shade and rich, moist soil. They're grown from tuberous rhizomes and can reach impressive sizes quickly.

Zones:

Fully hardy in Zones 10 to 11. Elephant ears will only truly thrive in warmer areas similar to their native humid climates of Southeast Asia, and with daytime temperatures of 70 to 85F, and nights no lower than 60F. They can be grown in cooler areas, but will need to be replanted each year.

Exposure:

Most prefer filtered sun or shade, but some tolerate full sun. In general, green types can take higher light levels; darker-leaved ones need more filtered light or shade.

Soil:

Elephant ears need rich soil that is moist (not saturated), but well-drained. Most don't like wet feet, though a few are tolerant of wet conditions—like the big-leaved colocasias you might see in water gardens. A general rule is big, green elephant ears are practically indestructible and can tolerate variable moisture conditions; dark-leaved types will suffer if over watered and can stay dry for several days.

Watering:

To prevent disease problems, water in the morning so they go into the night dry. If possible, water from below at the root zone rather than from above, to keep water off the leaves.

Fertlizer:

They're not heavy feeders. Apply a slow-release fertilizer at planting time, following package directions. If foliage shows yellowing, it’s probably a micronutrient deficiency. A fertilizer with micronutrients can be applied, or sprinkle Epsom salts around the base of each plant on a monthly basis.

Overwintering and cutting back:

In colder zones, the tuberous rhizomes can be dug up and stored over winter. In warmer areas, they can be left in the ground or in their pots.

• For colder zones that receive frost or freezing temperatures:
1. Cut back foliage to the ground once it turns brown, usually two to three days after a killing frost
2. Dig up rhizomes
3. Allow to dry for a few days
4. Store in an open container with peat moss or dry potting soil barely covering the rhizome
5. Keep them cool (45 to 55 degrees) and dry
• For warmer areas, once the foliage turns brown, cut it back to the ground. Bulbs can stay in the ground or in their pots over winter. Protect from frost by covering the base of the plant with 4 to 12 inches of mulch.
