I have an elephant ear in pot in a shady area of my backyard for years. This way it won’t spread in the ground and it is easy for me to divide the plant if needed. I started having a division from a lady in the local community. Hers is in the ground.
I am in 9b. Here the summer is hot and dry so it needs daily watering to stay alive. For the winter, it depends. Last year, for example, we did not have freezing days at all; NONE. Only some light frost for a couple of days at different times. So the elephant year remained evergreen. In some winters it went into dormancy and came back in spring. It is an amazing plant.
This is great information. Thank you for sharing. I am in 8a and they will just die after the first frost so I don't have to worry about them spreading. Some people dig them up and overwinter them in their garage or under the house here.
I soak mine with maxi crop seaweed. For about 10 mins. Its helps alot. I got mine around 8ft tall. Every other week i use 20-20-20 liquid fertilizer next seaweed . Folagile gets super green .
This is valuable information. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Can you share where you got your heat mat?

@@Dr.Warren so is it ok to germinate in a normal potting mix without covering ? and it says dark brown part should be inside the soil?
Couldn’t you soak that in water for a week ?
I would need to read up on it, but in theory It think it could work? Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Doc, can you talk me down off the ledge...please?We had 16,000 square feet of zoysia installed last year and I'm 99% sure I have a dollar spot infestation that has gone from not so bad to much worse and increasing every day.I have done my research and found that some seem to say it will run its course without permanent widespread damage and will subside when the summer heat gets here.Others say it will take over and kill the entire lawn if left untreated (with something like propiconozole).I'm freaking out as the sod was very costly and I slave over my lawns.Thoughts?Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
I would go ahead and get on a fungicide regimen. Especially if you are in the southeast United States with all the wet weather we are having.
This should help.

@@Dr.Warren Thanks so much!I truly appreciate your time and knowledge.I'm assuming what I have seen is correct that it can be spread by mower and foot traffic and clippings should be bagged or no?T.I.A.
