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
