Colocasia esculenta syn. Colocasia antiquorum

These tiny #elephantsears are going to grow up to be #taro There small bulbs will double and so will they😍

Do you think a 5 gallon bucket would work better then the little vase I have it now?? At least until I can plant it in the ground or find a fatter pot??😅🤔

@alysha yes it would work but plz put a few holes in the bottom so u can water it throughly and also put it up on something where it can breathe from the bottom. It will help with air circulation. U don't want it to root. R u bringing it in or leaving it outside?

They grow in anything :) @alysha

Awesome @Acetaker thank u. And for sure I will do that.. I'm so afraid of losing her haha. Thank you too @treefrog44 . 💚🤔🌱😊

And inside. 🌱

U need to give it a really bright window where it can stay warm. After u Repot it and water..Don't water it again until u can feel atleast to the 2nd knuckle on pointer finger it really dry,the just give it about 2 cups of water around the outer edge of where u know roots r. This will keep it dormant enough that come Spring it will take off growing again.😍 @alysha

@alysha they grow in water as well, no soil needed... http://homeguides.sfgate.com/care-taro-plant-25424.html

@Acetaker your a gem🌱🤗😍 thank you!!!! So much.

@treefrog44 I like the idea of just water too. Maybe after I can get mine to create some more. I might give that a try... 🤔💚🌱🤗😁

#taro #elephantsears are babies compared to @cyndi @ShelleySnyder @columbiariver are in second and poor me in a third with 2 1/2 ft H plant with 1 3/4 H ears

No worries you had to restart a lot of your stuff due to excessive amount of rains etc. Or move them. Plus really it's not a real competition unless we are all using same soil, plants, food and water type so guess what we all win cus they are living and all growing big and strong. Xoxoxox

Xoxo @cyndi.. damn,I was having fun..lmbo❣

Standing tall and enjoying the first bit of sun for the day. #taro #elephantear #tropical

@Acetaker you trying to out do me!?😂😂😂 Those leaves look huge!! Nice!!💘😍

Shelley,I'll have to stand by them and have hubby take a pic to show u how big they r... I'M AMAZED REALLY❣Well, and that I'm out doing u too,. Hehe😉😊😋😁😂😂 @ShelleySnyder

One set of mine is taller than me and I'm 5'4" and the leaves are bigger than my head. All are the same kind so guess they like this one spot better. @Acetaker @ShelleySnyder

Love these, very tropical.

@cyndi @Acetaker uh oh got a competition goin here!! Who's is bigger and taller!!? ( Gotta say you got me beat on the height cuz mine isn't quite as tall as me☹️)! Cyndi that is! 😂😂😂😂
