In fact, these plants are commonly grown for their large, tropical-looking foliage, which is reminiscent of elephant ears. Keep reading to learn more about how to take care of an elephant ear plant. Elephant Ears Gardening Uses There are a number of uses for elephant ears in the garden. These plants come in a variety of colors and sizes. Elephant ear plants can be used as background plants, ground covers, or edging, especially around ponds or along walkways or patio enclosures. Their most common use, however, is as an accent or focal point. Many are even well adapted to growing in containers. Planting Elephant Ear Bulbs Growing elephant ear plants is easy. Most of these plants prefer rich, moist soil and can be grown in full sun, but they generally prefer partial shade. The tubers can be placed directly outdoors once the threat of frost or freezing temperatures have ceased in your area. Plant the tubers about 2 to 3 inches deep, blunt end down. Planting elephant ear bulbs indoors approximately eight weeks prior to the last frost date is also acceptable. If growing in pots use a rich, organic potting soil and plant them at the same depth.

Review: Took a WHILE to grow! But TOOK OFF once they sprouted - 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.
Review: Hmmm?! - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the fukl Botanical name of this plant ? Colocasia ... ?**
A: I would not order these.  
Not only are they not colocasia, they are small elephant ears.

**Q: can it survive freezing temperatures?**
A: The ones I bought didn't even grow.  They were tiny and dried up.  Not even as big as a dime.  Big Elephant Ears come from a big bulb, like as big as an orange or even grapefruit.  To answer your question they really should be dug up at the end of the season.  I'm in Missouri and it does freeze here.  I've left mine out and they did come back for a couple of years.

**Q: I ordered in April but never received**
A: I order last year and have not received mine plants.. I contact this year and have not got a response yet!!!

**Q: Can they grow in AZ?**
A: Yes they do pretty well. I just started 3 new plants

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hoping for BIG things
*by D***5 on September 24, 2023*

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 🤞🏾
