1 Upright Elephant Ear Bulb – Alocasia Odora – Giant Elephant Ears

Growing them is simple – they like filtered sun or shade and rich, moist soil. They are grown from tuberous rhizomes and can reach impressive sizes quickly.

Watering: These are high water plants. The more water they get, the bigger they will grow. Containers will need to be watered daily during the summer.

Planting: When planting new elephant ears or re-planting for the spring, set corms in the garden when nighttime temperatures are consistently 50-60 degrees F. Plant 4-6 inches deep. (The bigger the bulb the deeper it goes.) Most elephant ears will grow to be at least 4 feet wide, so give them space.

Fertilizing: Elephant ears are heavy eaters, as well as drinkers. Fertilize monthly with a general fertilizer of choice.

Hardy in zones 9-11
