I can’t believe it! It has grown so beautifully! I am so impressed.

[@rosettagrows3315]

Thanks. I’m so happy you talked me into it!

[@iddybiddyladybugleeza909]

Awh I miss your videos!!! I just got this plant for my birthday

[@LuxuryComfortCompany]

I just found some elephant ears today and can’t wait to plant them.

[@Vivi_1_1]

Tea cup elephant ears are my favorite.

[@danaildon3716]

I have huge one outside they are enormous. I’m in NJ and not sure what to do for the winter. My biggest one actuallly sprouted off and created another one. I Am soooo inlove with this plant.

[@omaeve]

In Virginia it’s still cold and rainy. My black coral is coming up, but the unfurled leaves are quite dark immediately only with a slight amount of green as they open.

[@phoebelehan]

Hello! Have just discovered your channel & absolutely thrilled that you’ve grown this beautiful plant from bulb! Your content & enthusiasm is brilliant! Have just located a nursery that has a colocasia black magic (velvety black foliage). Looking forward to having one in the house! Cheers!

[@tanyahamilton5902]

Hi, fantastic for a first time. I went back to watch your original video and it said on the package the variety is a “diamond head”. Just wanted to let you know what you had and It is a very nice one too!

[@omaeve]

I always keep a terra-cotta tray underneath my terra-cotta pots especially the really big ones

[@armadillobunny8695]

Are the leaves on your plant at the moment the same leaves that first emerged and they've grown a lot, or does it grow small leaves first and over time grow new big leaves? It's a stunning plant! 🖤

[@victoriapayton3447]

Well just waiting

[@terrihummingbird1565]

I'm planting upright elephant ears for the 1st time and can't wait tonsee the plant. Also planted tulips last year 1st time and they came up but didn't bloom yet because still early..

[@pretty95138]

wow amazing growth...got inspired by your video and just ordered alocasia online from costco...should i leave the pot with bulb out in patio with direct sun? do you bring the pot indoors in winter?

[@MG._.MG13]

Thank for the up date

[@TheLivingBackyard]

😍So beautiful!!

[@tiaraomalley7228]

I am planting my elephant ear tomorrow and was nervous because I have never planted a bulb. But I feel better after watching your videos. Can you tell me best practices in terms of watering it so I do everything correctly?

[@kayno9167]

You should do an over winter year 2 update!

[@danaildon3716]

Yes mine is huge Idk what to do in the winter lol

[@disphol]

Looks like a black corral to me since the leaves are shiny and not rippled. I have a black beauty and the leaves are not completely black but black patches with green veining. You have a lovely colocasia.

[@rosettagrows3315]

I just looked that up. You're right. It does look like that. There are so many different variations now its hard to keep up! The package said black beauty 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@HandmaidenOfDistinction66854]

I said the same thing before you said it. I thought that it was cute too! I love unique things. But yes, it's very cute like that, it has character. That's interesting, as I am looking at your growth timeline albeit I have a different variety, as soon as I planted mine they begain to grow. In the following week it was sprouting. Three weeks later it was already more than three feet tall and my pot is much smaller. I'll be transplanting it into a larger pot this week, hence how I found your channel. FYI, I'm growing it inside under mostly artificial lightning. I think the variety is the Mammoth. Next year, by God's grace I will get a couple of different varieties. I would love a variegated and one with pink hues. Lovely one that you have there. Looking forward to an update.🪴

[@eula4813]

It's growing sooo nicely and this backyard is just heaven!

You have your elephant ears in a pot now do you leave in pot through winter and then move in?

[@kaylasprettynails2848]

@@susanferguson394 yes I keep mine in a pot all.year.

Eleanor Kearney yay!! Congrats!!

[@hillybanks3891]

I'd love to keep seeing updates on this

[@rockkinroll1]

When should I plant these? I live in. Wisconsin

[@camilleholler5827]

Rosetta!! ❤🌷🌺 look at your channel grow! and those Elephant Ears omg beautiful.. So happy for you, i still havent started keeping indoor plants but when i do i know where to go 🙊... so wonderful to see and hear you! 💋 -much love from cold ass Berlin

[@Yourworstfears]

I just bought an elephant ear black and need some tips? I know she likes plenty of water.

[@annomaly751]

Hey Rosetta I was wondering about how tall these get to be?

[@teresakluttz8562]

I live in coastal Virginia and planted an elephant ear in an outdoor pot last summer. Because of the weight of the pot I left it outside all winter. Do you think the bulb froze or should it come back up?

[@maribellerma7717]

I think I may have overwatered mine... 🙄 I planted three of them in separate pots two in terracotta pots and one in a plastic pot. Only one of them in a terracotta pot is growing. Although, I did notice a little growth on one of them tho. (the one in plastic pot) Can I let it dry out before I start watering again? It has also rained a little. I am in San Antonio, TX

[@raiderfrankdatank]

Just got me a baby black coral today. Hopefully i can keep it alive

[@yeseniasaenz6816]

Mine is browning at the tips, any suggestions?

[@avapickles-tyler9497]

I really love watching your show. I have NEVER been a plant grower (iI use to kill them, evand now I am really getting into it and I love it. I had some elephant ears that were gifted to me to be replanted and is it good to water propagate them??? Please help.

[@rosettagrows3315]

Hi Ava! Water propagating doesn't really work on Elephant ears. What you can do is dig them up and separate them at the root ball (bulb or corm) level. Connect with me over on Instagram or Facebook and I'll try to give you more direction!

[@joem2745]

Are elephant ears sun loving /shade loving?

[@Iamtalent88]

So how many times a week did you water the bulbs and how much water? Im trying to plant threr small bulbs in one big pot please lmk thanks!!

[@rosettagrows3315]

Hey. So sorry for the late reply. Your comment was hidden for some reason. At first, I just gently watered once a week, mostly to keep the vinca watered and then just a little over the top of the bulb, just wetting the soil. As it grew and gave off more leaves I watered the whole plant more deeply. Now it gets a heavy drink, watering the whole pot, once a week.

[@hayleeowens3876]

I think it looks exactly like my Kono Coffee :)

[@pelona6969]

I’m in Ca can you please tell me where you got them?

[@Gee5425]

If yall have a Pikes Nursery out there or any big box nursery should have a few varieties of elephant ears. You can also get them at most Home Depot's and Lowe's, sometimes they'll only have the regular ones, but I got my black coral from Lowes 2 years ago. If you have a big nursery by you run in and check there, our local Pikes doesn't usually get anything exciting, and I just picked up the white lava, mojito, and a ruffled variety yesterday. I was kind of super excited about the white lava, I figured I'd have to get my dad to send me some from Florida, but we had them!

[@Alifit21]

Do u think they can survive indoors with indirct light

[@rosettagrows3315]

Yes, if it is very bright. Here in the Northern hemisphere, that would likely be in or very near a southern window. Mine get direct sun for a couple hours. Yours might not get this dark indoors.

[@MsMeWitDatBS]

I planted my bulb in a pot on the 27th of may but I don’t see any action 😢😢😢. I planted a regular green one and I saw sprout in 3 weeks. Same size pot and same type of soil.

[@IsaacNewton1966]

Looks like the took awhile to come up.

[@jasminewilliams2194]

Does these bulbs come from the edible taro root plant?

[@Gee5425]

Hmmm, I wonder! I've heard people call them the taro plant before, I never knew where they came from. Interesting, I'll have to google that, I never put the two together.🤪

[@RoseTorn411]

This definitely looks like a Black Coral

[@garethmarch7396]

I planted a colocasia around the same time you did but my soil is so cold that it is just a min above the surface right now 😒

[@rosettagrows3315]

Gareth M oh no! Give it a few warm sunny days, it’ll pop up! Where are you located?

[@garethmarch7396]

@@rosettagrows3315 I'm in upstate NY. Our temps have been in the 80's and 90's lately so I'm hoping that it will finally take off 🤞

Rojo Congo is my wife's spirit plant. And dont talk about my bulbs

[@rosettagrows3315]

Sean Henry I love her Congo. And You don’t have to talk about your bulbs if you aren’t comfortable. 😝

[@jungevonnebenan5497]

Where can I purchase these bulbs? Couldn't find them :(

[@rosettagrows3315]

Depending on where you live these might be hard to find throughout the year. Bulbs are generally easier to find in late winter here in CA. Most plant nurseries sell bulbs at that time of year because that is when they are easiest to plant.

[@jungevonnebenan5497]

@@rosettagrows3315 thx. I'm gonna look for them at our local nurseries in Germany

[@HZD-HarleyQuinn]

Do you have any alocasia mickey mouse? They are a beauty!!! I just ordered some.

[@rosettagrows3315]

No! And I just had to google them. How cute! That is so fun. I wonder how the variegation will do. Are you going to grow them indoor our out?

[@HZD-HarleyQuinn]

Rosetta Grows it will be indoors! :)

[@jackieduran1721]

Would you recommend to bulbs in one pot???

[@rosettagrows3315]

I wouldn't! They like a ton of room to spread out. I actually recommend splitting them yearly because Elephant Ears need a bunch of room, otherwise they leaves start to get smaller and smaller.

[@safuwanfauzi5014]

That colocasia rigth not alacosia.
