Re: Elephant Ears

Sue,
I'm in zone 7 and I pot my elephant ears. I think I used just ordinary potting soil. Some pots I bury in the ground and the big one I place above ground on an empty upside down pot in the background of a bed.
I store the tubers in the garage in the winter and so far they are doing fine.

I had purchased a couple large Elephant Ears bulbs/tubers a few years ago and
planted them. They grew quite nicely but of course the tuber died in the
winter, though I had read to lift the bulb out for winter. I'm lazy. <shrug>
This year I thought I would plant them in planters. How large must the
planter be? What about soil? Other tips? Thanks!
