Elephant Ears houseplant care?
They need a really big container and lots of indirect bright light while indoors. It is best to keep them outside during the warm months in full sun to partial shade. Elephant Ears can be invasive if planted outside in soil so it is best to keep them confined. This is especially true if you want to over winter them indoors as they are tropical plant and will die if left outside during the winter months. As for watering...just water it when the top 3-4 inches of soil feels dry to the touch.

Reply:There are different kinds of elephant ears. There is the wild small variety that grows here in the swamps of Louisiana. There is a tropical variety that grow extremely large. It will get 10' tall. There is also a colorful plant called caladiums that people sometimes refer to as elephant ears. Do some reasearch and figure out what you have. Typically keep them watered and allow it plenty of sunshine and it should be fine.
