When winterizing my Elephant Ears, the root system always seems to turn mushy.....I live in Southern Ontario Canada so our summer is lenghty %26amp; winters getting much shorter. Any suggestions or tips on my dilemma would be much appreciated.
Having some problems winterizing my Elephant Ears.?
I live in northeast IL and I usually cut the elephant ears down once the first frost hits. I remove all the dirt and let them sit out to dry for a couple of days. I store them in loosely crumbled newspaper in a basket in my basement for the winter. I have had pretty good luck so far. You will need to check them during the winter to make sure there is no moisture that will rot them. I hope this helps.
Reply:Hi,
Like the other poster say, try drying them first and then put them away.
Lots of people just buy fresh ears each summer.
Reply:I live in western NC. Before the first frost, I cut off all the leaves just above ground. That's all I do, and they come back next year.
