finally, I got the time to dig up my elephant plant and divide it so I can have more plants. now time to transplant them. hard work but well worth the effort. thank you for stopping by.
Thank you for this video! We have some elephant ear plants that we want to dig up, divide, and transplant. It seems like removing the dead or overgrown leaves would make the process easier. Is there a reason we shouldn’t prune the dead or overgrown leaves before digging it up, dividing, and transplanting it?
Hi. Thank you for stopping by. No, it's much better to remove dead or dying leaves. You can also remove the leaves for easier transplant. but I still had time for growth and didn't want to cut back all the leaves. I wanted it to take in as much neutriient as possible.
@normanziegelmeyer7693 1 hour ago I enjoy your video and learned much.I have a question, we planted a large bulb about 3inches in diameter given to us by a son last year.When dug up last year I saved the big one and 3-4 babies.They were planted this year and I noticed the small ones grew very well and produced large leaves but the large one only produced small leaves. Is this normal? do the leaves normally get smaller as the bulb gets older ? Last year the larger one produced gigantic leaves. Thanks
@normanziegelmeyer7693 how sweet that your son gave you bulbs!!! They know your interest. I would think that the big bulb would have produce larger leaves. They may be producing lots of little leaves to offset what was removed for additional photosynthesis since they lost all the other baby bulbs. Give it another year and it should recover. Mine has since grown so much from all the division. I will have to do an update. Thank you for watching. Is there anything you would recommend to make my videos better?. Enjoy your garden.
