Relocating Elephant ears?
My elephant ears have just starting blooming and I am moving so I would like to relocate them to the new house. Will this work?

Relocating Elephant ears?
Yes, you shouldn't have a problem at all. The easiest way to transport them once they've uprooted them is to stick the roots (with as much of the soil you're excavating them from as possible) in a garbage bag, tie the bag around the stalk and off you go. You shouldn't have a problem with them at all, just try to plant them in the same intensity of light as they came from, if that's possible. Good luck.
Reply:The only thing you need to worry about is that you don't destroy the rootball. If you loose a lot of roots while transplanting it you will most definetly have to trim the bush nearly in half to compensate for the lack of roots suppling the plant with nutrients and moisture. Good soaking of water once transplanted add some seaweed fertilizer to help the plant with stress.
Reply:You can dig them up and move them easily. Remember, an elephant ear is a tuber, Make sure you get the tuber and as much root ball as possible and keep them moist until you can replant.
Reply:yes. if you cut them down they will come back up, or you can put it in a pot, wrap up the plant with bubble wrap and ship it to your new home
Reply:They can be transplanted/relocated relatively easily. I searched under "transplanting caladium" and this is one of the sites I found.

Reply:yes....they are easy to relocate...I simply pulled them out stuck them in the ground where I wanted them, watered them, and voila...
I am a terrible gardner...so these are definately fool proof.
Reply:THEY ARE SO HEARTY YOU CAN'T KILL THEM OUT ONCE THEY ARE ESTABLISHED .
Reply:Anythings possible, but the "elephant" make not like it! LOL

Have yoiu ever heard of elephant ears blooming?
YOU CAN SEE A PIC IF YOU E-MAIL OR LOOK AT MY YAHOO 360
Have yoiu ever heard of elephant ears blooming?
A Yahoo search for "elephant ear plants" (include the quotation marks in the search box) yields 9,080 results. If you do the same search, and are willing to spend a little time exploring, I'm sure that you will quickly find the information you seek including pictures of flowering plants. Since they are trpoical plants, they do not hav enough time to grow to the point where they bloom in climates north of the south Florida area.
Good luck with your search.
Reply:No, however it snows here so we take cutting from the plant and winter them.
Reply:Never
Reply:yes spath
Reply:I have had them bloom before. A yellow affair that was kind of spike-ish.
Reply:I did not See the bloom, I saw the pod a few days later and was surprised! But yes , now I know it blooms, August in Massachusetts!
Reply:Yes, the flower is a Spathe and Spadix flower. They are in the family Araceae. Genus Alocasia, the often are not allowed or do live long enough to flower.

Can elephant ears be cut up like potatoes to propigate?
Oh yes, they certainly can and I believe it can be done at any time. I watched a large potted elephant ear get smashed by a truck. The poor bulbs were destroyed with chunks everywhere. What happened? Lots of those little torn bits started growing.
I have only ever done the method on a black magic bulb because I was down to two (Apparently, they do not overwinter in the ground very well in my area) so I decided to see if I could speed up the process and start several more before spring kicked in full mode. Every cut piece grew and I was able to have a big showing of black magic during that summer.
Some elephant ears have runners and they spread like crazy so you needn't use that method on them. It's the clumpers (Clumpers grow bulbs next to each other instead of spreading it out with runners, hence they clump) that tend to be a bit slow.
Can elephant ears be cut up like potatoes to propigate?
yes, but you have do it while the elephant is asleep.
Reply:Thank you for asking this question, I heard it before but did not know if it would work. I had many plants in Florida, but we moved and now I have only a few. I really miss the all, but the elephant ear was just getting started. I miss my flower and herb garden.
Reply:You could, but you run a high risk for rot. My colocasias and xanthosomas multiplied so much this year I don't know what to do with all of them.
Reply:yes, as long as you get at least one eyelett per slice and let the slices dry before you plant them.. They grow a little slower at first, but catch up fast..
Reply:Why would you want to is right. 11.5 ft of salt water for 3 weeks in my neighborhood b/c of the levee breaks in New Orleans. And the elephant ears came back in force. I dug up about 3 30 gallon bags full for a friend, and there were even more than that.

Does anyone know how to care for elephant ears?
While i agree with most of the info posted so far I wanted to add a few things.
They love water. They can actually grow in a bucket of water. Peple drop them into ponds with just a basket to hold them down, so dont worry about overwatering them. The big problem is that they do require quite a bit of water, should bewatered a few times a week.
And while you can cut them back and dig up the bulb in the winter, you can also transplant them into a pot in early fall. This gives them a chance to recover. you can them bring it indoors for the winter. While it will have very limited growth indoors and will die if left in too long, they are more than capable of surviving 4-5 months indoors without any sunlight. This lets you have a biger plant the next year as it does not have to start over.
If you live in a warm climate where the temp does not fall below 50 (at night) during the winter, you can keep them outdoors year round. This includes places like southern florida and California.
Does anyone know how to care for elephant ears?
these are very easy to grow and take care of
elephant ears will grow in sun or shade, and they love sunshine, heat, and high humidity
be careful, they can be poisonous to children and pets
plant early in spring with rich fertilizer and keep moist all season long, dig up bulbs in fall for storage
Reply:Really big Q-Tips. ;)
Reply:With a really big Q-Tip, silly
Reply:Depending where you live, they have to be dug up before the first frost of the season, and kept in a dark cool place, like in a bucket. During the year fertilize once a season.
Reply:elephant ears are very easy to take care of. In fact, I have several. Some are located in full sun, partial sun and even shade. I've actually cut the primary stem on a few and they grow back quite rapidly. It does not require much care. In fact, just water regularly and let it grow.
Reply:Lot's of baby oil and daily mud baths.
Reply:If you are talking about the plants you water them well daily, trim back in the fall after the leaves start dying then cover with seveal inches of much for the winter.
Reply:Don't you just eat them? Coated with powdered sugar? Maybe a little drizzle of chocolate syrup?
Reply:lol to the big ear answers, but a shady spot and LOTS of water is what they like, mulch over them in the winter.
Reply:Sorry---couldn't resist-----wash them with a warm rag and do NOT use Qtips in them. :)
Reply:well, 1st you need a REALLY large q-tip...sorry. you'll probably hear that way too much... lots of water. in fact they do well right in standing water, like a pond

Is this true that this tv programma called a man got elephant ears?
Is this true this man called elephant ears
Is this true that this tv programma called a man got elephant ears?
Well, it is tue that there was a television programme about a man whose face, unfortunately for him, was so grossly deformed that he was referred to as the elephant man. It was a very insightful view about how that person had to deal with revulsion shown towards him on account of a face which was his misfortune to have. It is a very old show now, 15 or 20 years old if not more.
Reply:The 'Elephant Man' was born in victorian times, when his mother was pregnant with him she witnessed a man being crushed under foot by an elephant at a circus, and she was convinced that is why her son became disfigured in her womb.
It was a sad account of his life, he had one 'perfect' arm and his head was so heavy, that's how he died eventually because the weight of his head broke his neck during his sleep he must have moved into an unsafe position.
You should try to find the film, it's an old black and white film if my memory is as good as an elephants...
