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.
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
Depends on where you live, it should be warm out. I'm in Florida and just replanted my giant Elephant ears.
Reply:You should NEVER remove an elephant's ears!
They need them to keep themselves cool!
I can't believe you would even consider such a thing...
No, I'm not serious...
I don't think it would matter. :)
Reply:Spring is absolutely fine. Be sure to keep them well watered. Then step back and watch them jump up!
Reply:i have never transplanted my elephent ear but the bulbs of the elepant ears multiply with every new sprout!!!!!
