Re: Elephant ears
It should work for every elephant ears with bulbs. Some of them arent as cold tolerant or as tolerant in general as other elephant ears are. I have black stem elephant ears in a huge pot and I just keep them outside until after the first frost, cut back all the dead leaves, put them in the basement closet (with light on), water it maybe once, and then take it back outside. It starts off REALLY slow and looks like nothing until about mid june and then in July it shoots up and will start to bloom for me from late August all the way until frost (its in bloom right now). Next year I plan on putting them in the ground and I will dig up the bulbs with some roots still attached and put it in a pot and water it. I would let it grow a little bit inside and then in the spring I would take it back out for it to grow again in the ground.
Good luck!
