There are a large number of veins and capillaries that fan the large ears. As the elephant flaps the ears, the air removes the heat from the elephant. This is every much like how a fan removes heat from a heat sink of the computer processor or a car radiator.
How does an elephant use its huge ears to keep cool?
By fanning with the ears.
Reply:Like a fan,they also splash water unto themselves!
Reply:Heat is lost through the large pinna of the elephant by diffusion.
Reply:Big years mean big fan for the elephant. Also the blood flowing through the surface area of the ear also cools very fast.
Reply:.ears have a large surface area, and the blood flows to the ears and cools by radiating heat to the surrounding air and returns cooled blood to the elephant there by cooling it
Reply:The elephant uses its ears as blood cooling devices by increasing and decreasing the blood flow through them. As the tissue is thinner than the great bulk of their bodies the blood cools quicker and and it returns to their bodies it helps to cool them down.
Reply:Much like a bunny rabbit. Except elephant can fan itself.

Do i need to take potted plants out of the pots in a freshwater aquarium?
all 4 of my plants are in pots....black plastic pots with what looks like moss packed in with them.
Should i take them out so they can root.
2 are Crinum's and the other 2 may or may not even be aquarium plants...the look like small elephant ear plants or arrowheads.
Do i need to take potted plants out of the pots in a freshwater aquarium?
Yes, you should take them out of the pots. You CAN leave them in there and they will survive, but for them to develop healthy root systems, they need to be in open gravel.
Just be careful when removing the moss-like stuff, or you can damage the roots. Then bury the roots into the gravel. You can also get fertilizer tabs to stick under the plants (within the gravel) that will encourage their growth.
Could the other plant be a Red Tiger Lily? Otherwise, try to take a picture, as many plants could go by that definition :)
Reply:That would depend on your tank and your maintenance.
I leave mine in pots for easier care, plus, I can move them to the outside ponds in the summer to give them a boost. (in a slightly larger pot)
Another reason I leave them in the pots, I control their growth. Every other water change I remove the potted plants. I pull them from the containers and trim the dead or dying roots, if need be, any poor formed leaves and fertalize OUT SIDE the tank. Many professional aquarist prefer to leave them potted so they can also be moved around the tank. Just because you like a plant in one spot doesn't mean they do.
Another reason, when cleaning the tank, it makes it much easier to siphone. Many water plants do not send out runners. So binding the roots is not an issue.
It is a matter of preference however. I choose to control the growth of my plants so I keep them in pots. Either way it is more of a what do you want to do with the plants.
your arrow heads are pond plants and will quickly grow out of control and above the waters surface and then some. Keeping that one planted and roots trimmed.
Reply:yes!
Reply:i have personally bought potted plants for my aquariums, and for most of them i would suggest taking them out of the pots. this is especially a good idea if the pot contains more than one plant, because keeping them potted and squished together can cause overcrowding and doesn't allow all the plants to soak up nutrients. the only time i would leave the potted plants alone is if they have hardly any roots and need the pot as a base for support so they don't float away. also removing to pot usually looks more aesthetically appealing.

How long will it take for my caladiums to appear?
I just planted some caladium bulbs in my garden this afternoon, both the elephant ear and the smaller "confetti" variety. How long will it take before the pop above the surface? The weather here has been in the 60's and 70's the past few weeks, so no frost whatsoever.
How long will it take for my caladiums to appear?
hi. I have mine still in basement, getting ready to place in pots as tonight its lower temps.. if you can , bring them in, and leave them in pots in garage at least till 2nd wk in may ..on sunny days i bring mine out, well in shade that is, but higher temps...

Would any guys consider tattooing elephant ears on their lower abdomen?
not going to lie, i read this one as i was starting my first cup of coffee so it took me a min... then i just lost it... wow would that be funny to see... any guy who does that has serious guts, and a great sense of humor

I think it would be absolutely funny. It'd get old fast, though, so it's not such a bright idea.

Black elephant ears?
Does anyone have any advice on how to grow them? I've had no luck.
Black elephant ears?
They can be tricky. The key to growing them is they need the right amount of sunlight. I live in Florida, I have found that partial sun is best. If they don't get enough they will not turn black.
Reply:Maybe another company to purchase them from.
Black Magic Elephant Ears

Zones: 7 - 10 (10° F.)
Height: 5-6 feet
Spacing: 4-5 feet
Depth: 2 inches deep
Sun/Shade: Full Sun to Partial Shade
Foliage: Deep, Solid Purple
Reply:the black elephant ears are also known as the black magic.
they are easy to grow, and beautiful. what i did to mine last summer was i gave it some plant food. i also watered it alot. it got to about 6 feet tall and the leaves were huge.
they got so large I needed to put a rope around it. they need so much water though. they got very large at the end of the summer and i stoped watering mine so it started to make smaller leaves, so i gave it more and more plant food and it grew back.
then in the fall it died to the ground at 28 degrees, and now they will be coming back up when temperatures hit the 80s.
* IF THEY DIE BACK TO THE GROUND IN THE FALL, IT DOENT MEAN THEY ARE DEAD BECAUSE THEY ARE PERENNIALS *
if temperature dont get below 5 in the winter, it will come back up

Help! want to transfer elephant ears?
they are planted in my friends yard and almost dead, I would love to tranport them to my yard, i'm just not sure if thre are any precautions or hope
Help! want to transfer elephant ears?
EE's are hard to kill. Have had them in a bucket for weeks waiting to be transplanted. They'll grow in nothing but water for months.
Just dig some up and plunk them down. Will grow in full sun to mostly shade. They like wet feet, but will tollerate dry conditions too. Invasive - will take over.
Reply:Elephant Ears transplant very well. Get an empty margarine container, fill up with some dirt, add water/mixed with some fertilizer or Root It (root starter) put plant in container and fill remaining space with dirt. When ready to put in your garden. Make sure you wet the soil first before planting and water it after its planted (cut off the dead leaves, this will help plant to thrive).
Reply:sure theres hope..just dig them up and put them in mulched soil with alittle fertilizer(after the leaves have picked up)good luck, I'm fixing to do the same thing..let me know how big they grow! good luck

A vital part of an elephants self cooling system is how big the ears are. Cropping them will only cause it to over heat and die.

Reply:Take it to th zoo vet. then have them crop your head off too!
Reply:Just a tip, once they are cropped, the elephant will never be able to fly again. If you still want to crop them I suggest you do it yourself. Too expensive to hire a specialty vet. Take a pair of large hedge clippers to do the job. Apply anti-biotic ointment to fresh cuts. Good luck!
Reply:You shouldn't get them cropped! Unless you plan on keepin gyour elephant in a place that is air conditioned, he needs those big, flappy ears!!

Elephant Ears?
When I lived in NYC I lovedddd this food called Elephant Ears, Its like crispy warm dough with cinnamon and sugar on it. They also make something similar to it, but its like a stick of fried dough rolled in cinnamon n sugar.
Where can I find something like them in stores? or make them at home?
Elephant Ears?
Depending on where you live, the bakery sections of Stop %26amp; Shop or Hannaford almost always have them, but be warned, they are not so great. Check out an italian bakery if you have one locally. If not, they are a snap to make at home. Here are a couple recipes I have used, the second one is my favorite!

Reply:i always used to get them at the local bakery at home when i was younger too. only there (carmel, ca) they called them pigs ears.
this is from a website with pictures. they don't call for cinnamon, but i would just mix some up with the sugar.
Lots of granulated sugar
Puff pastry
Parchment Paper (aka baking paper) or a Silpat baking mat
Preheat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of sugar over your workstation. Roll out the puff pastry to about 10X12 inches. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of sugar (and spices if using) over the dough.
Roll up the left vertical side inward, stopping in the middle of the dough. Roll up the right side of the dough. The two rolls should be meeting at the middle and touching. Press the two sides together gently and let the dough chill in the fridge for at least half an hour. Repeat with any more puff pastry you may have.
Starting at one end, cut off pieces of the log, in slices about 1/2 inch in thickness. Lightly sprinkle sugar onto each side. Pinch and press the sides of the two rolls together to ensure that they don't unroll during baking. Place on large parchment lined baking sheets, or a baking sheet lined with a Silpat. They will increase size dramatically, so leave plenty of room between each cookie and only bake a dozen at a time.
Set the tray in the middle of the oven. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the sugar has caramelized. Allow them to cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
****you can buy puff pastry in the frozen isle at your grocery store
Reply:i dont know if this is the kind you eat but what i do is i buy some of the dough that is used to make dumplings and fry it!
when it is nice and crispy i take it out and sprinke some Powdered suger (if you dont have powdered suger take regular sugar and grind it in a grinder it will become powdery)
enjoy and hope this helps!

I had a dream about an elephant being followed. Instead of tagging it, they speared its ear, bleeding a lot.?
You may just be ruminating about the unnecessary cruelty inflicted on innocent animals who cannot fend off human predators.
Elephant's Ears???? Anyone know this plant?
I am not referring to the typical outdoor plant with huge ears.
This is a vine with varigated leaves similar in color to a pothos (yellow and green). Each stem has a main leaf with a triangle shape and 2 smaller leafs also trianglular on each side ( the elephants ears).
More importantly, Where can I get a start???????
This plant has been in my family for years and I let mine get frosted.

Have you heard of the story of the blind men asked to describe an elephant?
Have you heard of the story of the blind men asked to describe an elephant? One was holding the tail, one the trunk, the next a foot, and the last an ear. You can imagine the resulting descriptions of an elephant. Some things in life are mysterious until you can put the pieces together. Has writing been mysterious for you? How do sentences and paragraphs fit together smoothly to form essays? What are the most useful transitions for you? Is there a purpose for transitions? Some people think that transitions are devices or bridges. What would these blind men think about transitions if they could see?
Have you heard of the story of the blind men asked to describe an elephant?
I don't think that the blind man and the elephant is a good analogy for transitions in writing.
Too many questions-are we doing your homework??
Has writing been mysterious for you? No. I grew up reading alot, and still read constantly. Reading is what teaches you to write. In fact, when I was a kid, i read the story of the blind men and the elephant (the poem by John Godfrey Saxe based on the Indian story.)
How do sentences and paragraphs fit together smoothly to form essays? They fit because form follows function; because the words work as bricks and mortar, because content flows, yet maintains enough variety and texture to be interesting; and because the author embeds the text begging the question, which drives the reader to continue.
What are the most useful transitions for you? The most useful transition is one I do not notice.
Is there a purpose for transitions? Of course. The writer is trying to tack another sentence in. But a transition won't work if the sentence doesn't fit. It's like forcing in a puzzle piece--even if you use a superglue transition, what is more important in the long run is CONTENT.
What would these blind men think about transitions if they could see? It is irrelevant. How can blind men SEE the whole?
In the poem, the blind men never do come to a conclusion. As a metaphor for your concept, this falls apart here.
Better that you have your students read sample paragraphs and then deconstruct.
This would be akin to letting your clueless blind men handle a small model, where they could grasp the idea of "elephant" as a complete entity first.
Their problem was not transitions. It was being unable to grasp the whole.
A paragraph is more like a chain. Something which lacks cohesive content (or needs a transition that isn't there) is the weak link.
Reply:No. No. Each word has its own meaning, and they work together to create an idea or thought. So. Yes. That they help traverse one idea to another.
Reply:I think the blind men would think transitions are necessary and cool stuff in writing... just as we all do. Don't know why they would think differently if given a whole sentence, huh? Just like we get?
Reply:Yes; and it is a very informative metaphor for social understanding. What it has to do with "transition", I have no idea. As for "writing", per se, if your train of thought is not sound, you will de-rail.

In the poem, the blind men never do come to a conclusion. As a metaphor for your concept, this falls apart here.
Better that you have your students read sample paragraphs and then deconstruct.
This would be akin to letting your clueless blind men handle a small model, where they could grasp the idea of "elephant" as a complete entity first.
Their problem was not transitions. It was being unable to grasp the whole.
A paragraph is more like a chain. Something which lacks cohesive content (or needs a transition that isn't there) is the weak link.
Reply:No. No. Each word has its own meaning, and they work together to create an idea or thought. So. Yes. That they help traverse one idea to another.
Reply:I think the blind men would think transitions are necessary and cool stuff in writing... just as we all do. Don't know why they would think differently if given a whole sentence, huh? Just like we get?
Reply:Yes; and it is a very informative metaphor for social understanding. What it has to do with "transition", I have no idea. As for "writing", per se, if your train of thought is not sound, you will de-rail.

What species of mice has huge elephant -llike ears like the ones in cartoons?
I am uncertain if there are Dumbo mice, but when it comes to rats, the ones with the extraordinarily large ears, are consided Dumbos.

Blooming Elephant Ears??
I have some elephant ears that the original came from my granny 20 years ago. Some of them is blooming. People insist that they do not bloom. I have pictures to prove it. Is this natural? Lynne
Blooming Elephant Ears??
Yes, they can bloom. pinkish-mauve (usually) on stalks.
They're generally grown for their leaves, though. And they don't always bloom.
Reply:Am I too late to answer? My elephant ears just started blooming. Its a deep yellow. I have had them for years, never bloomed before. Report It

Is it true that Cambell's uses chopped elephant ears in their cream of mushroom soup instead of real mushrooms
yes. elephants are an endangered species, but cambell's is such a well known, and revered soup, that africa has allowed them to shave off small bits of the elephant ears, to use in their soup. just wait until they start charging the actual price of the ears. it will be worse than gas!

Reply:There is no real way to disprove this unless we were to contact Campbells. But if you think about how much it would cost to import Elephant Ears to wherever the soup is made, the cost would by far outweigh the costs of making an artificial mushroom flavour or by importing mushrooms. Elephants don't die in their masses so Campbells would soon find themselves running out of their key ingredient.

Elephant ears?
Will elephant ears grow inside your house in a pot?
Elephant ears?
Yes they will so long as you place them in or near a sunny window. I have grown them indoors for the last two years.
many people in northern climates winter them indoors without any difficulties
Just make sure you water them and they get lots of sunlight
Reply:I have read that the baby immature ones might have a hard time growing, but once they are more established they are perfectly fine indoors.

hostas need shade, come in many colors, and grow beautifully with little care; elephant ears are tropical, I would start indoors now, %26amp; then transplant when warm in your area; they need to be dug up %26amp; brought inside to winter over; you can grow both if you want in containers but they also do well in the ground;

Black Elephant Ears.?
Check in the spring at some local L%26amp;G centers. It's becoming more and more popular. It shouldn't be hard to find in a city the size of St Louis. We have carried them for 3 or 4 years. We get ours from a company called Netherland.

Reply:Colocasia, Jet Black Wonder[Black Magic] is one elephant ear we grow, another whose leaves turn black is Illustrious, it have black and green leaves. If you love elephant ears there are more such as Alocasia Plumbea, a metallic silver, Alocasia Tigrinia, it's green with arrow shpe leaves and the stems remind everyone of snake skin{varigated black and brown,really cool looking, one of the giants is the Macrorrhiza is it solid green with the largest leaves of all. Wayside Gardens in South Carolina use to sell the Black Magic, I'm sure they have a web site. All these plants are annuals and need to be dug up before the winter in Ohio, store them in a dry cool place over winter, dust them with a fungicide before storing. Hope you find your Black Magics!!
Happy Planting!!
Reply:I believe that's illegal
Reply:It's too late in the season to plant them now, and in St. Louis, (I'm assuming Missouri) they would likely need to be dug up for the winter.
Lowes and Home Depot tend to carry them. You can also get them through typical mail-order centers, like Brecks, Jackson Perkins, etc. But those places tend to sell very very small plants. A local garden center may have larger bulbs. A large Elephant Ear plant will have a bulb at least 4 inches across, and I've seen them as large as 8 inches across.
Wait until spring, though, to plant them. The Black variety is less cold-hardy than the normal green.

When is the best time to divide my elephant ears plant and how do I do this.?
I live in zone 7
When is the best time to divide my elephant ears plant and how do I do this.?
I live in zone 7 also, unless you have a greenhouse to grow you elephant ears in, now is not the time to divide them. Your ears want grow during the winter, they will rot and if you dig them now you will only be disturbing the root system. Leave the mother plant alone for the winter and after you know we won't have anymore frost, then you can dig and divide them. I don't know what kind you have, but there are very few ears that make it through our winter. Especially the Black Magic,or Jet Black Wonder, they most always die or rot. If you have the Macrorrhiza a large ele. ear, these are stronger because the bulbs are larger,and can withstand the wet ground. I would mulch them with some pinestraw for the winter, and remove it after last frost. When you do divide and replant, do not bury them. Plant in the soil just at where the stem starts from the bulb, don't bury the stems. You could also dig them up now and store them in a cool dry spot and replant them in the spring like you do caladiums. Hope this helped. Good Luck
Reply:The Elephant's Ear plant grows outdoors in zones 22-24. Since you live in zone 7 you probably have the Elephant's Ear as a house plant.To propagate these you take stem cuttings in summer.With a non-climbing variety, shoots taken from the base of the stem should be used as cuttings.
Reply:anytime . just dig down and spilt and separate being mindful that you need to get as much root s on the rhizome your cutting .
they can be a ways down in garden bed you've got , so you might have a bit of work getting to the roots . good luck .
p.s. they may appear to 'faint ' --- but don't panic it'll come back soon enough ---- and don't forget if you break a leaf and get some sap on your hands or whatever , don't handle food or put your hand to your mouth or eyes --- it's pretty toxic eh ! ??
Reply:If you have colocasias, now is the time to do it. I'm not sure if you have to dig them up every winter in your area like we must do here.
If you have xanthosomas or alocasias, I'd do it in spring.
p.s. I see another respondent mentioned toxicity. All aroids contain varying degrees of calcium oxylate crystals in their sap. It's not a poison, but it's a hell of an irritant! Luckily, the crystals are easily disolved by washing with vinegar or lemon juice; any mild acid will fix you up in no time at all.

Roll out dough very thin and cut into any shape you want (usually rectangles) Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Delicious dipped in White Karo syrup and served along side watermelon!
Enjoy!
Hi - I tried to email you back but it wouldn't go through - it said your e-mail address was unconfirmed? Anyway, I use the heavy whipping cream, located in the dairy case in like a little half carboard milk carton. Hope that helps!

Reply:what do they look like, are they like funnel cakes???
Reply:I have two EASY ways when you need them quick. One way is to just fry flour tortilla shells until brown and crispy then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Another is to take already made bread dough like Rhodes bread dough that is in the freezer, take off little pieces, roll it out, fry it and do the cinnamon sugar thing..these are a snap!!

pour oil in a deep skillet.to depth of 1".
heat oil to 375* --
fry dough in hot oil till golden brown on both sides.
sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon --
sometimes I have additional melted butter.to brush on hot "ear" and then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.makes the mixture stick better --
makes about 4-6 elephant ears.

Reply:what do they look like, are they like funnel cakes???
Reply:I have two EASY ways when you need them quick. One way is to just fry flour tortilla shells until brown and crispy then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Another is to take already made bread dough like Rhodes bread dough that is in the freezer, take off little pieces, roll it out, fry it and do the cinnamon sugar thing..these are a snap!!

Elephant's Ears???? Anyone know this plant?
I am not referring to the typical outdoor plant with huge ears.
This is a vine with varigated leaves similar in color to a pothos (yellow and green). Each stem has a main leaf with a triangle shape and 2 smaller leafs also trianglular on each side ( the elephants ears).
More importantly, Where can I get a start???????
This plant has been in my family for years and I let mine get frosted
NOT the great big leaves, Elephant's ears????? Houseplant?
I think you're talking about 'arrow-head' plant. The leaves are typically variegated, although green leaved and 'pink' leaved varieties exist. The plant is related to Pothos and Philodendron, some varieties do 'vine'. I'm afraid I don't know the Latin name of this plant (I live and work with hardy plants in zone 5).
I have a Very Old variety... that just won't ever 'bush' out. It shoots one 'vine' a year... that one withers up, and a new one shoots up from the ground... very discouraging. Any attempt I've made to root it has failed. I can't help you specifically find one of these old-timers, but I would suggest if you have a public conservatory or green house, some of these gems are grown there. Often they will sponsor plant sales, as fund raisers, I would try one of those. In my area we have the Historic Belle Isle Conservatory.
I hope that this helps
Reply:you may mean "Alocasia" which sounds like what you are talking about, it is not a garden plant but one for indoors. You can get them in a flower shop or nursery and maybe through the internet.
they do need special care, if you put them outside for summer and then bring them in, you must watch them for water intake.
Reply:I believe you don't want a staghorn but a real elephant ear plant. You won't find them at the home improvement store nursery, but if you have Armstrong or Green Thumb nursery near you, they will order you a start. I'd send you a start of mine, but it succumbed to frost damage, too. My gardener assures me that it has a good possiblity of coming back, but I highly doubt it. Our Armstrong nursery had it cheaper than the Green Thumb, but I have to wait a couple weeks for it to get here (I'm in SoCal.)

Yes, my grandmother did for a few years.
Can elephant ears be grown indoors?
Yes, they need a good amount of light, like being kept moist, but prefer being in the ground.

Can i plant elephant ears in a planting pot?
You will have to have one humongous pot..........because the one bulb will multiply in many. Not all of the leaves sprout from one bulb. Infact you probably need a pot the size of a wash tub to accommodate the lush growth of the elephant ear. Smaller pots can be used but you lose some of the beauty.
Can i plant elephant ears in a planting pot?
I've done the same thing in large urns in my back yard.
Here's what I've found - - - -
* make sure the pot or urn has sufficient drainage
* use a good soil mix
* a good rule of thumb is to make sure each bulb is placed at least three inches from each other to allow room for expansion and to prevent overcrowding
Keep in mind that plants in any kind of pot needs a different watering schedule than plants in the ground.
Mine looked great last year and I'm sure your's will too.
Good luck.
Reply:Yes!! They are adaptable and hearty plants. Just be sure not to plant to many to close together. As they will have a tendency to overlap each other and the smaller ones will die out. You will also want to keep an eye out and make sure that any that are wilted or dead are taken out.
Reply:Yes you can just give them plenty of room. Watch the soil it will dry out quicker than in the ground. The bulb will mutiply, good luck.
Reply:Yeah , but I don't think the elephant will like it !!!
Reply:You bet you can, the bigger the pot the, the bigger the leaves. I've been using them in containers for years and have found 15-20 gal. nursery pots allow them to get as big as the ones planted directly in my gardens. For some reason I can't get them to do well in whiskey barrels, so this year I plan on lining a couple of barrels with plastic and see if that helps. They're a thirsty and hungry plant, so water and feed the 'bejeezes' out of them and they will get huge. RScott

Is it ok to move elephant ears in the spring , before they begin to grow or should I wait and do it in the fal
I agree with the first poster, move them in spring. Elephant Ears, being a common name applied to any big leafed plant, could be a number of species of either Alocasia, Colocasia, Xanthosoma, Caladium etc. Some like wet feet and some like good drainage, but if the plant has been working for you so far, keep up the good work.

Winterizing roses, elephant ears, and hibiscus?
I live in Texas, just south of Fort Worth, so we haven't had our first freeze yet (should be in about 3 weeks or so). My above-mentioned plants are all "dead" (...sleeping?) and I don't know how to care for them so they come back next season.
Do I chop them off at soil level? Do I leave what is dead-looking and just wait it out until next season? WHAT DO I DO!??!!!
ANY HELP is greatly appreciated!
Winterizing roses, elephant ears, and hibiscus?
Howdy neighbor! I live in San Antonio and will tell you what i have experienced for nearly forty years in the business. Yes, you want to trim all dead foliage off. The hibiscus is no doubt a perennial variety. The elephant ears and the hibiscus can be trimmed to the ground. I recommend to clients that they should mulch the root zone of both plants with 2-4 inches hardwood mulch. The winterizing roses are puzzling. If you speaking of the nearly wild or knock-out roses then trim as other rose bushes. Remember all roses bloom on new wood. If you are referring to the groundcover type roses, then not much in the way of pruning will be required. All plants benefit from mulching; it's like pulling the blanket up to their ears in the cold weather.
Reply:Cut them off at the top of ground, place some fertilize around about inch from plant, Then mulch pretty heavy. Plants then will start taking food early and grow faster in spring.
Reply:roses leave alone
elephant ears chop to the ground
Hibiscus is it the tropical one or the temperate one. the tropical one may not survive your winter,but the temperate one just cut to the ground. the temperate one has flowers that are normally white, red, or pink. tropical ones have a larger variety

Reply:African elephants have larger ears than Indian, or Asiatic, elephants because they live in hotter conditions and are bigger, more aggressive and active. The huge ears of the Africa elephant, sometimes three and a half feet wide, enable it to hear more acutely.When the animal charges it fans out its ears, augmenting its terrible appearance and striking fear into the heart of any enemy.
The ears also present a large surface for losing body-heat. African elephants, who are at a disadvantage in the heat because of their large size, wave their ears to keep cool and chase away flies. The African elephant is the biggest and noblest of land animals, reaching a height of 11 feet and a weight of six tons.
The Asiatic elephant is smaller. It inhabits the forests of South-East Asia from India to Ceylon and Borneo. It does not like heat and seeks the deep shade of the forest.

Elephant ears?
i live in utah. i plant my elephant ears in large pots. at the end of the season i usually dump the dirt in the front garden for next year to use.
lo and behold, in the corner there are ee sprouting!!
so, my question is: what do you think are the odds of these ee surviving the summer. they are in 80%sun with moist soil.
i'm eager to see what happens, but wanting public opinion
thanks :)
Elephant ears?
Elephant Ears can tolerate full sun if given adequate moisture. Protection from wind helps the leaves maintain their beautiful form. Watch the edges to see if they turn brown or crisp. This may be a sign of inadequate irrigation/moisture.
Good luck.

You could could hose them down occasionally -- they like humidity -- I don't know what that's like in Utah.
You could call your County Co-operative Extension Service for suggestions, too. They have Master Gardeners who can answer most questions for your area. [The county website might have the info too - usually under Agriculture.]

Why elephant shake his ear pinas cont?
I do not really understand your question.... but if you are asking why elephants flap their ears it is to mainly keep them cool. The blood in the ears runs very close to the surface of the skin and as the blood passes through the ears as they flap it cools then travels through the rest of the elephant to keep them from over-heating.
They also flap their ears to keep bugs off, communicate with one another and so on and so forth.
Is that what you were asking?
Why elephant shake his ear pinas cont?
Humans keep their body cool by perspiration through skin,dogs by their tongues , but elephants do it by moving their pinae
Reply:To reduce its body temperature.They will also paste mud over their body for the same purpose.

What of does the elephant's ear do??
I'm serious
Really
:)
What of does the elephant's ear do??
Do you mean what else does the elephant's ear do (besides hearing)?
1) the ear's large surface area, coupled with being extremely thin and having lots of blood vessels helps cool the blood and thus keep the elephant from overheating
2) by flapping their ears, elephants can fan themselves to further help keep themselves cool
3) sticking their ears straight out (like smaller animals perking up their ears) is a warning sign to who or whatever is confronting them to back off
Reply:help him fly, he doesn't need a feather, he has always had the tools to do it himself. fly dumbo, fly!
Reply:The large flapping ears of an elephant are very important for temperature regulation. Elephant ears are made of a very thin layer of skin stretched over cartilage and a rich network of blood vessels. On hot days, elephants will flap their ears constantly, creating a slight breeze. This breeze cools the surface blood vessels, and then the cooler blood gets circulated to the rest of the animal's body. The hot blood entering the ears can be cooled as much as ten degrees Fahrenheit before returning to the body. Differences in the ear sizes of African and Asian elephants can be explained, in part, by their geographical distribution. Africans originated and stayed near the equator, where it is warmer. Therefore, they have bigger ears. Asians live farther north, in slightly cooler climates, and thus have smaller ears.
The ears are also used in certain displays of aggression and during the males' mating period. If an elephant wants to intimidate a predator or rival, it will spread its ears out wide to make itself look more massive and imposing. During the breeding season, males give off an odor from a gland located behind their eyes. Joyce Poole, a well-known elephant researcher, has theorized that the males will fan their ears in an effort to help propel this "elephant cologne" great distances.

How to care for elephant ears?
Keep the ground moist not soggy. Cut off any yellow or dying ears down about 4 inches from the ground. In the winter when they are pooping out from the cold cut them all off and cover the plant with lots of pinestraw. They will be back next year. They multiply so when the clump is too big for the spot or you just want a clump in another part of the yard you can dig it up in early spring and split it in half. Then you have 2 plants to put where you want. I throw a little Miracle Grow water on it 2 or 3 times in the summer. There are lots of different kinds. Tiny ones to really huge ones. I think they are beautiful plants. Lots of folks plant them under a place that drips water like a window air conditioner. They really grow then and you dont have to water.
How to care for elephant ears?
Just water them and cut off leaves as they turn yellow.They will take over everything.

Only with jumbo sausage.
Does any one know what an Elephant's ear tastes like?? do u think it would go with chips???
I think an elephant's ear would be dried in much the same way as a pig's ear is. It would then be very hard and suitable for a dog chew but not really for us. I would just eat around the elephant ear and eat the chips on their own.
Reply:It doesnt really go with chips, try a nice uncut loaf and lots of brown sauce
Reply:It probably tastes like chicken.
Reply:Let me try by chopping off your ears %26amp; frying them.
Reply:no chips...
it tastes like a fried piece of dough
its good though
Reply:Everything goes with chips!!
Reply:Yes to part 1...not to part 2. They would go better better with Couscous.

They will die back (not die) when it's freezing temps. Cut off the dead parts of the plant %26amp; cover them with at least 2 inches of mulch or a thick blanket of leaves. They will come back during Spring.

Reply:all depends on which kind of elephant.some of them are endangered you know
Reply:No, you should take them inside. I would plant them in a container not in the garden soil so you can move them indoors to winter over. I have 2 one in a pot and one in the ground. The one in the ground suffered severe damage in zone 9 where I live when we had a week of hard freeze last winter. I'm still not sure whether it is a total gonner or if it has a chance, but it is still looking pretty dead this late in the season.
Reply:No they will not unless the bed is heated via underground piping!
Reply:I think they would if once they die back after first frost you cover them with a foot or so of leaves. Take them off a week or two after last frost. Despite what I've read, they need lots of water. We had some growing in an area of our yard that stayed wet and they grew wonderfully. We had to move them to put in a drainage system as the water was getting under our house, and the place we moved them to was drier and they haven't done well at all.
Reply:No.
But you can dig them up and keep them in a dry cool place until planting time next summer when the nights get warm.
We throw them away and buy fresh.
Reply:I've been able to keep three alive for three years now. I live in Z4 N Dakota so I cheated a little. I buried a gallon jar of water with a 50W aquarium heater and planted three bulbs next to the jar. In the winter I cover them with a thick layer of straw. The result is a six foot bush with four foot leaves. Compared to those bulbs I treat as annuals which never get more than waist high with two foot leaves. It amazes the locals who think my thumb is greener than it really is, aren't science fair projects great fun ? RScott

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?
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: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.

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 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...

When is the best time to plant elephant ears in the ground?
Plant in the fall, then in the spring you'll see a little trunk poking out of the ground, and by the time fall comes around again you'll have a full-grown elephant! sorry, couldn't help it...
When is the best time to plant elephant ears in the ground?
Once the temperatures stay above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. That is what I do, but I live in Wisconsin.
