tarev said:My first time to grow elephant ears and enjoying it. I got them from another NGA member jmorth last July. They started growing nicely when our much awaited winter rains started to show up here. Glad to have them and still observing how they go. They sure are thirsty and really loves staying beside our fountain so it catches some of the water too:

This container is a mixed bag, it may have some lilies there too, but the elephant ears are growing much faster. I want to observe more keenly now how it survives our dry summer heat and forward. Thankfully our Spring this year seems to have extended cool period, though some days of higher temps slowly trying to show, but overall, still a cooler Spring with some rains in early Spring compared to previous years.


Ohh these EEs look really pretty.

They grow REALLY fast. Like 1 leaf after 3 days.

Goodluck with them :)
But they are rather difficult to overwinter.
