I have a little planter box of these in seeds that I planted about 2 weeks ago and they've already sprouted! I'm very excited and hope they grow to be like your one! I'm only a newbie so fingers crossed lol

[@ΑΝΤΩΝΗΣΣΜΥΡΝΙΟΣ]

the new pot is very litle

[@plantrelated7322]

It is. I don't like putting my plants in big pots cause its much easier to over water when there is a lot of soil.

[@ΑΝΤΩΝΗΣΣΜΥΡΝΙΟΣ]

@@plantrelated7322 you will have to repot it again in a few days because this plant can grow rapidly. After all Coloccasias need lot of water , they can live in water

[@RealJingy]

Oh man!!! Seeing that root ball makes me super happy I was able to pull up 4 or 5 Elephant Ear babies this morning from a huge monster plant that lives on or very near to my mothers koi pond... This is going to be so much fun... Thanks for the info Great Press Keep Pressing Press Harder Press Now\ Cheers

They do and so quickly too! This one is already added another leaf!

Hello! I have a quick question my elephant ear plant is turning yellow and now has brown edges. I’m so confused and afraid to over water or not watering it enough… any tips ?

[@wahid2648]

put it in the water and the sand will automatically gone. much easier and safe for the roots

Very informative and helpful.

You don't need to do that to the roots. It can take 3 or so months to recover from damage.

[@Curlycourt86]

Thank you

[@leenaalkhammash9699]

Hi, I have a similar plant but a different name (Xanthosoma frozen plant), the lower leaves are droopy :( how can I save them or root them?

[@kimberlyb7]

I’ve been experiencing some of the foliage is too top heavy, and two large leaves have totally bent and broke 😞🥺😩!!! Any recommendations for this issue.. Thank you ..

[@VinylUnboxings]

I would guess lack of calcium or potassium, perhaps?

[@theresarichardson3346]

Great tips! I repotted mine from the nursery, I didn't get the roots freed as well as you. Is my plant going to be okay? Should I take it out and free the roots better and repot again? Mine is also dripping water, the soil is not damp, can I expect this plant to always be dripping water from its leaves?

[@pdg7290]

Youre fine about the roots. the plant drips water from the leaves when its over watered. it's its way of draining from being over watered

[@patriciarivero1872]

Please help!! I bought a big one and the leafs are falling down and the plants are becoming yellow. I don’t know where to place it at home !!!

[@alenkamoore7262]

Hi, I have the same issue with mine. The stem kind of breaks and they just turn yellow 😭😩

[@naturallynailah6983]

@@alenkamoore7262 in my observation whenever a new leaf grows the oldest leaf dies, they typically don't have more than 3 healthy leaves at times. Also these plants LOVE water but not being soggy. Also water less indoors than outdoors

[@shadesofidaho]

Hi there, Just found your channel while trying to figure which direction to pant colocasia bulbs. 12 just arrived home today. Living in cold climate it is too soon to put them outside but I thought to start them indoors. Well dang if I can figure which end of the bulb is root end which end is top. Love your video and yes those are some roots. Now I want to grow one or three indoors. Will be binge watching your videos to catch up and do hope you keep putting out more. I also love your Mama papa and baby bear plant arrangement. Always trying to not only enjoy my plants but to decorate and make them look interesting.

[@plantrelated7322]

Thank you, Chris! So kind of you. Best of luck with your bulbs! I've never personally started colocasia from bulbs, but the best direction to plant the bulbs are with the pointy end faced down.

[@shadesofidaho]

@@plantrelated7322 Thanks so much for answering. Funny thing is both ends are rounded. I do see some hair like roots? on the bulbs so will plant them down with those facing down. Some one else suggested putting them on their sides because they are kind of long like potatoes.?? Need to do tis soon.

[@moniqueatterbury9482]

@@shadesofidaho You can simply place them on their sides and cover with soil. I've grown 7 colocasias from tubers that way and each one were successful.

[@shadesofidaho]

@@moniqueatterbury9482 Oh Great. Thank you. Guess it is getting close to time to get them going. Was going to do pots. Thinking 8 inch. Not positive I have enough potting soil an issue so many of us planty people are facing right now. :( I suppose I could plant them shallow and when I can get potting soil again and who knows when that will be. I could then lift the plants out as a whole and add more porring soil under them. These are ot the great big ones. I thought they were whe I was buying them then researched more and they stay small. I am fine with that too. Thanks again.

[@moniqueatterbury9482]

@@shadesofidaho happy planting! I rooted mine in very small pots until they showed signs of new growth. I sometimes prefer using smaller planters, as I feel like I have more control over the moisture retention in the soil. Enjoy your colocasias!

[@alexismucci9251]

I just got an elephant plant, I didn’t loosen up the roots before I repotted it, will that be an issue?

[@Coach_Read]

No

[@ryannnoelle6675]

How bad was it?

[@ryannnoelle6675]

If it wasn’t root bound then it isn’t a issue

[@pandascribbles7211]

No it’ll sort itself out

[@biancamena2253]

Hello there. I have a colocasia that was just gifted to me, but the bulb is really sticking out of the soil. Do you think that is a problem?

[@plantrelated7322]

Shouldn’t be a problem. If you’re seeing the actual roots stick out then just add another layer of soil on top

[@csuzukic]

Hi, I got mine a few weeks ago single leafed and a new leaf about to come out, the offer lead got droopy and died, the new leaf is on the same path, could it be I underwatered it?

[@plantrelated7322]

It’s possible. I would first feel the soil. if it’s staying damp between waterings id wait longer between them. If the soil is getting completely dry then I’d water more often. It’s also possible that it’s just in shock if it’s really new. Just keep an eye on the soil and make sure it’s getting enough light!

[@kristinem.8665]

Hi, same thing happened to me. The leaf fell off but the stem is still in place. Should I cut the stem down to its base?

[@plantrelated7322]

@@kristinem.8665 Yes, anytime a leaf falls off i prefer to cut it down. No need to have the plant waste its energy on a stem that already lost its leaf.

[@adventurervlognocopyrightm8704]

i have same plant but its stems are drooping ?? can you help me

[@Luvyatilyouactup]

It’s not pronounced Colasia. It’s Colocasia. Really pretty!

[@plantrelated7322]

Haha you're the first one to say something! As soon as I re watched video I thought to myself "what in the world is this pronunciation!"

[@diegomarchetalberti1602]

I have one Colocasia Esculenta Purple. It is appearing some spots that looks like it is burned. My plant doesn't get direct sun light. Maybe it is a kind of disease. Have you seen something like this?

[@katmartiuk6990]

I have an elephant ear in my front porch that has an roof with shade but the leaves keep getting these yellow spots at the tips what would you recommend I could try?

[@katmartiuk6990]

Lukeasdf123 I gave it fertilizer and watered less and she’s doing a lot better

[@kimhurst6533]

Could anyone tell me Why when my elephant ear gets a new leaf a existing leaf dies off. My plant still only has 3 leaves. I once again have a new leaf coming up an one dying off please help

[@plantrelated7322]

These plants are so quick to do this! If they’re in any sort of situation where they may be a little stressed they’ll drop a leaf as soon as a new one grows. Some things to keep in mind is temperature, don’t like to be too cold, not enough sun, or over watering. If you’ve been watering once a week, cut down to every 10 days or so. I wouldn’t worry too much about it though. This is a plant that does this pretty easily, but will grow as fast as it drops leaves. PS. With winter months coming up you may see it be more dormant with its growth. Don’t be alarmed it’ll pop right back in the spring.

[@Lolabonezz]

I just repotted mine this morning & now it's extremely droopy😔 I think it's experiencing shock 😭 any tips would be helpful!! Thanks!!!

[@MaryamShakiba]

Great video! Thanks!

[@demskies]

EVERY single time I loosen the roots up like you did in the video my plant ends up dying.

[@saifsawafi2773]

This plant seems to be Alocasia and not Colocasias.

[@StarAnimes]

Some of my leafs are getting little “dots” and getting weaker. What does this mean

[@ECMoPo]

Maybe spider mites.

[@rachelbruce5341]

Several of my alocasias and colocasias are staying fairly short, and they aren’t dwarf varieties. Tips for a taller plant? And what color is that wall? Magnolia Green? I love it!!

[@steffiejoe]

More light, helps with growth and helps them keep more leaves.

[@abbiearmstrong2206]

I've heard that shade promotes better stem growth

[@vega2600]

Feed your plant often. Liquid fertilizer. I use aquarium water once a week. They will get huge

[@dddduu300]

You bought a pot that is almost literally the size of the other one.

[@colincruickshanks7578]

Do you think your plant was incorrectly labelled? The way the leaves are more held upwards on most of the petioles of your plant rather than as Colocasia is usually, outward facing, leaves pointing to the ground. Perhaps it has been grown in close proximity to other plants and that's the reason the leaves are held pointing more skywards, held high similar to Alocasia. Apparently from salubrious beginnings has emerged the big leaved plant I see on my screen so, you've therefore certainly gained a handsomely strong specimen. It would be of interest you making a follow up vlog or two in the near future to see your plant reveal. Always when I see these super big Aroids I immediately have a ..want right now ! feeling. At this moment I must possess none other than the very Plant you have.

[@raelynn902]

My nursery told me they like to be watered every day

[@plantrelated7322]

It'll depend on the environment. If you're going to have it in a full sun area and/or outdoors I would agree to water it every day. Mines in a little corner in my apartment that gets almost no direct light, but pretty good indirect light. There it only has to be watered every 3 days or so and even less in the winter! Best of luck with yours.

No no not a little moist they have to stay completely hydrated constantly moist and you can't just have typical soil that has to be organic daylight constant light not extreme light like 100° More so of 70-90°
