elephant ear transplanting


Question
I was given full grown elephant ears a few days ago. I planted them as soon I got home. The ears are on the grown. Did i kill it or does it take time to adjust to a new location? I watered it well and added plant food. What do I do?

Answer
Hi Malinda, Elephant ears love moist, almost mushy soil, and to be in dappled shade (even darker actually); if you planted them in a dry soil in the sun, then they are showing they are unhappy, don't be too concerned about the leaves flopping over, new ones will develop from the center, but put them in their "happy place" and all should be fine..Nick
