🌱 How to Plant Elephant Ears Outside 🌱 

I binge watched your videos in 2019 and started my garden! Thank you for your easy to follow videos! Your garden is Beautiful 😍❤zone 8b

Seeing your Elephant Ears over the years has inspired me to find spaces to tuck them into my garden. I overwintered them this past season and 1/2 of them made it (also following your videos). The survivors will be enough to have in the garden spaces. I will have wonderful impact with no money spent!! Thank you for all you do to bring us these videos.

I love elephants ears my grandma had garden full of the them. I planted mine at the end of march here it is may 10 i already have elephant ears i live in zone 8a . Thank you love the video ♥️

Love elephant ears 😁

Finally someone from NJ.

WOW! I didn’t know about planting them so deep. Thanks.

Hi and thanks Yuliya 😊 Yes, water daily, unless it rains! I'm a total Elephant Ear Lover 💚 I plant mine in very large tall container pots. I have them right up against the house, and the sunlight mine get, is reflective light from the townhouse across from me. They love it there, and ofcourse, They Love Humidity.

I live in Panhandle FloridaZone 9, Elephant ears grow naturally and even returned after a week of 17 degree in December. I love the privacy they give me.

The first year I bought corms and they took over 4wks to get going. Last Fall I saved corms from my plants and started them up in mid January thinking they would take that long again. Well they started sprouting in 7 days 😂 I now have a jungle at my dining room patio door window that needs water everyday!! I can't wait to get this beast outside! 😂😂

I love growing elephant ears their so exotic in the garden. I start mine in Florida during the winter and haul them back to my Minnesota garden for the summer.

Just in time . I purchased one bulb in March and not knowing how to plant it you have helped me thank you for introducing new plants and information to us.

I've learned to keep mine from scorching and drying out they have to be watered numerous times the soil has to stay wet especially when it gets near triple digit weather.

I can’t wait to see growth on my huge elephant ear bulb. I grew one last year from a small bulb and it did well . I saw all the amazing elephant ear plant ygarden was showing on her garden tours . WOW, absolutely amazing.

I planted mine 2 days ago zone 6a. I am watching now to see what new things I can learn from you lol

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤omg thank you sooooooo much your the first person I've found from new Jersey growing these beautiful plants😊thank for the video👩🏽‍🌾💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

i love elephant ears great job

You’re garden is beautiful

Just planted mine around the creek today , following from Ohio .

Thank you for this video! It popped just in time. I was about to plant my Colocassia Esculenta in blasting full sun. I'm so happy I saw your video a few hours before I was scheduled for planting!

I haven’t planted mine yet but will work on that today. We have experienced uncharacteristically high winds this spring so I really appreciate the tip about burying the corms a bit deeper than I would have. I could hardly focus on the EEs due to your stunning azaleas in the background! Please consider doing an azalea/rhodo tour sometime - yours look amazing.

Bol'shoye spasibo, Yulia!!

Thank you for the information. You inspired me with your prior videos and because of you I started 2 Aloha and 1 Black Magic and they have been growing under lights. This is my first year growing them so I am really excited!!

It’s barely May and your garden is already just so beautiful! 😊

Thank 🙏💕Yuliya 💐🪴🪴💐😊

Thanks Yuliya. 🌷💚🙃

So nice, always good info! They do add a great touch to garden!

A lovely garden! Thank you for sharing this with us.

Great timing!

Perfect, I have 2 I'm going out to plant today as well. Thank you!

Your tulips are delightful.

Can't wait to plant mine out this year! I bought a Black Coral to try this year.

You inspired me to try these this year!

Спасибо большое за ваши советы !!!

WE LIVE IN SCARSDALE NY ZONE 6 I GROW YUTIA CORMS FOR EDDIBLE LEAVES I LOVE YOUR VIDEO

I planted some in the ground for the first time. Previously, I had only had them in a large pot. I'm looking forward to seeing how they look right out in the ground next to our front porch. I didn't add manure because I didn't know to do so. But I did plant them deeply and fertilize them. I will follow your advice about the every day watering too. I'm probably going to get another 2 of them so they can look real lush and exotic in their area. 😊

Your video is good and knowledgeable. Near elephant ear plat a white flower is showing very beautiful. Plz tell us about that.

Love it!

Perfect timing…I was starting to harden mine off ,but my leaves aren’t near as big as yours.I guess I better keep them in the house a few weeks longer❤

Awesome thanks

Seeing you collection of Colocasia’s inspired me to try Coffee Cups. Just bought it yesterday. It says full sun but will it take more shade? Bit worried about the size it may reach in full sun. I’m Zone 6b Southern Ontario with humid summers.

Wonderful, thank you Yulia ! Curious, what your growing zone you live? 🤔😊☺️

💚

Great video. You inspired me to plant them in my garden! I always use them in my pots and plant flowers around them. How much do they multiply in the ground? They have gotten so expensive to buy here in Windsor, Ontario. $30 for one leaf! I bring mine in in the winter and keep them in the house and bring them back out to save them and they get larger and larger every year and I enjoy them all year round but I have never put them in the ground. Thank you for the ideas.

Oh, Yulia! You have such sweet neighbors. QUESTION> Does any one else in zone 3 have luck growing elephant ears in their garden?

I was hoping you'd do a video. 😊 I grew some elephant ears last year I could see from my office window. I directly planted the corms in the soil and they came up nicely. However, I could have enjoyed them longer had I started them indoors a month or so earlier. I planned to do the same this year, but in a spot that gets more sun. A lot more sun. I guess I'll rethink that placement until the future when this area will have some shade from trees I plan to order from FastTrees. Btw, how is your hedge growing?

Do you have to spray these with deer repellent or do they generally leave them alone? I'm thinking maybe to plant them in the ground with some hosta (which I already struggle with deer browsing!)

I’m in GA 7b, can these be started in the ground or is a pot better? Is it too late to start them now?

Love your channel, I watch every single video. I think you might have your gain up too high during recording, I'm getting audio distortion on this and your last video. Springtime is so busy, that's probably the last thing you want to hear, sorry! Still such inspirational content and always very positive, thank you for continuing to make videos even when you're probably so busy! ☺️

Question, do you keep them outside during the winter? Or do you bring them back inside your house?

If i plan this close to a concrete wall can the roots break it

I had started mine in a pot it’s full, but now I want to put it in the ground.. will that be alright???

I love your videos. I think a few weeks ago yu mentioned voles and how you trued to control them. I believe you showed a product you use, but I can’t remember the name. Can you or anyone reading this help????? Thanks!😊

When do you plant out your caladiums?

A friend of mine gave me 10 bulbs last fall along with a lot of other buls. I didn't know any different so i just planted everything. I live in zone 7a. All 10 came up this spring though. Maybe they wont die...

How much sun do they require?

I have a bunch outside how to I bring them inside so I can have some potted if I dug some up will it kill them?

One of my kiddos gave me a Black Beauty elephant ear plant for mother's day. I'm in zone 8 b and the tag says part to full sun , so I planted it in my full sun bed. Now I'm worried it might be too much sun. If it shows signs of stress , would it be ok if I move it? I have no experience with this plant and I'm so afraid of something going wrong.

Hi are they shade tolerant? Also how do you care for them in winter

Can u put a stem on the dirt ,will it grow ,like a catus plant

Ever add Osmokote in the bottom of the hole when planting elephant ears?

Not my favorite at all, but I have three, which I didn’t plant. 😮 They appear all over the place here in my Mediterranean garden 😂😂

W😊here is your location? I’m in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦

Alocásia

Loved it! thank you.
