Elephant Ears (colocasia) 3 Bulb- bold tropical effect to and landscape.

I was a bit apprehensive because it took these guys short of 2 months to sprout. That could hv been my fault because the instructions say to not allow the soil to dry out, and I did a few times, but once I set them outside and kept them watered.......THEY SPRANG UP SO FAST. I've always loved elephant ears and I'm so glad I got these. They literally grow like an inch a day.

UPDATE 8/8/2021 VERY disappointed! One of three bulbs actually grew. One totally lost and one we dug up so we can use the designated space. One grew, the leaves look different then what is pictured. The leaves are facing down. I could have gotten these locally, a lot less expensive around here. Second bulb we dug up and soaked them left out on a garden bench began to grow about 1 week ago. Third bulb disintegrated. Buyer be were!! We bought 3 elephant eat bulbs late December 2020. I had opened the package and the first bulb look fresh and round and perfect. When today comes, May 16, 2021 I am excited to get my 3 bulbs out and plant them. To my surprise, the middle bulb was significantly smaller, more hollow feeling and all around inferior. We soaked the bulbs and planted all 3 bulbs in beautiful organic soil. Time will tell if Thai middle bulb will be viable. It is my fault for not examining all 3 bulbs when I received the package. I just wanted to share my experience. The photo is the 3 bulbs soaking in water. The bulb in the right is the bulb in question. I will update this review as the season progresses.

My purchase of these elephant ear bulbs (alocasia) also known as taro where it is eaten in places like Asia, New Zealand and Hawaii., was inspired by my trip to Asia this summer, specifically Bali where these huge lush plants were all over the place. They arrived on time and packaged just as the description & other reviews stated. They come with some planting instructions on a small piece of paper and in my opinion we’re not expensive, price point seemed appropriate. While in Bali I instantly fell in love with their size & BEAUTY. Back home here in the states I live in zone 7, but my mini research gave me hope that they can be grown & maintained here as an indoor house plant. I don’t have the greenest thumb but based on that mini research, I’m focused & dedicated to bringing this plant to life & watching it thrive throughout the years. I’ll come back and update my review in about 3-4 weeks to see if we get any action coming up out of the planter. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾

For now I was very please to unpacked these bulbs from its packaging, to see them all sprouting and there are some has already signs of roots coming out. So I didn’t wait anymore days or not even hours to start planting them in a regular size pot outside, partially shade, all together. I did some research first on how to plant these to avoid mistakes. So I am hoping after few weeks or before the weather starts to cold, they would sprout and grow some leaves. So I will be back and give you guys an update about the result. If they will all sprout, I would definitely edit this and give the seller’s perfect review. Thanks!

I ordered these bulbs after a lot of consideration; I didn’t see the comments about them being the small variety. Definitely needs updates to the ad pic! They are growing beautifully though! — Update! Several months later I truly wish I had gotten bulbs that resembled the pics- I KNOW they grow over the years and get bigger but these ended up really small. Sad.

These bloomed so quickly and beautifully!! All bulbs took off and started sprouting within a week.

2 out of 3 bulbs are complete mush. Only 1 of the bulbs is actually good. I have to give them a 1 star because it would not let me complete this review

Got 3 bulbs in good condition. 2 are doing great! 1 hasn’t sprouted anything but still hopeful. 1 has 2 growth points & another has 1 (growing bigger & faster) The photos are the progress after planting 2 1/2 weeks ago.
