Thank you for talking about using extra heat to get them going in spring. This is the part so often misunderstood and makes the biggest difference for growing these throughout the year. Heat, heat, heat! :)
I've grown elephant ears for years now and I didn't decided to watch a couple videos on how to store them and I did not know that I was supposed to cut the roots I never did I separated the babies and I stored them and a plastic tote with good soil and always had them standing upward I've left off the lid I would not water them for maybe 3 months then I would barely sprinkle water on them and only one time I had seen bugs start to get in the soil so I use diatomaceous earth which does not hurt the plant but it dehydrated the bugs and they came out big and beautiful but I will try cutting back the roots because they were Tangled when I went to plant them thank you for the tip
thanks, just dug my bulbs up today and needed some information on how to store them...this was a helpful video and simple...Thank you
I'm growing elephant ears for the first time, love them!! I live in New England and your video was very helpful!
I've always brought my Colocasia indoors for the winter, but it's gotten so big now that my husband and I can barely move its pot. I didn't know I could just remove the foliage, dig up the tuber, and then store it. That's so much easier on the back. Thank you!
I love the way you present :)
thank you. Have a lovely trip visiting your parents. This was my first year planting Elephant Ears & they did well. I live in SW Idaho so it's time to dig them up. Keep posting.
It's very nutritional vegetable my family and I eat it daily it's super delicious I'm growing in my yard too thanks for sharing dear 😁
Thank you for all the great info!! You are so refreshing to listen to..love your genuine love of gardening and how you appreciate every little thing. Safe travels to see your parents❤
You crack me up! Thank you so much for digging your gorgeous plants up early!
This was awesome...I love that you mentioned the house plant option as I live in an apartment...so glad I don't have to "clip" pr cut my beautiful plant. Thank you
We’ll miss you Yulia, have a great trip! I’d love to see some footage of your homeland. 💕
Thank you again for sharing savings the best for last, can’t wait to see them grow again and love the video!!!
In Indiana just started growing elephant ears last year stored the bulbs in a cardboard box worked great I have my elephant ears around my small pond in full sun and discovered flowers on them this last summer.
How hot are your summers in farenheit degrees?
Thank you Yuliya. Safe travels.
I’ve watched a couple of your videos and have now subscribed :)
Thank you for showing/reassuring me how to overwinter my plants. I have a lovely redhead coleus that is doing great at my office building indoors now after enjoying a summer outdoors.
I also want to thank you about your comment on peat moss. Environmental sustainability is important and it’s always good to keep in mind sustainable practices and share them with others.
Thank you so much for teaching us how to over winter elephant ears! Once again you delivered a very informative video and look forward to them.
Great information - first year with a great elephant ear collection in my Central NJ landscape and this video is perfect! Great to find “local” details. Thank you !
Thank you for sharing so informative video on Elephant ear plant ..very beautiful collection you have ..🤗🤗🌷🌼☘🌺🌺🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Thank you for sharing this as I didn't know I could save the bulbs. I went outside this morning after a very cold night and all the leaves were drooped over and it was a very sad sight to see. It's so refreshing to know I can save the bulbs and replant them in the spring
Have a wonderful trip. Thanks for sharing.
Great presentation. I so greatly appreciate your advice!
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH! This is our first winter. I was clueless and worried! YOU'RE AWESOME!
What a wonderful video!!! You are a delight & support my thinking that gardeners are almost always just great people. This was informative & sweet! Madeline D.
You are adorable. This was the best video about California is. I really appreciate your honesty and transparency. Thank you for making this video
I am a new subscriber to your channel. I grew up in California and my Grandmother had one of the most amazingly large beautiful Elephant Ear plants right outside her back door. She would "feed" it old Coffee Grounds. But she didn't have to store it away for Winter obviously because of the climate . I now live in Ohio, and have tried Elephant Ears in my Garden but they never seems to work for me . Your video has encouraged me to try again next spring .! Thank you so much . Have a safe and wonderful visit with your parents . God Bless .
I live in south ga, and I found putting the bulbs in large pots is easier. I plant them in early spring, and move them into full sun until they begin to grow, then in shade. I find they can handle a little dappled sunlight as well and it's 91 today. Good luck🤔
There are some varieties that are hardier than others. Xanthosoma Sagittifolium can grow quite large with good care, and will grow in many soil types. We've had them last in temperatures 45 degrees Fahrenheit and above. We've grown them quite successfully in sandy soil, marshy wet soil, as well as just water. It may possibly be the most common alongside Colocasia Esculenta, which she was working with in this video. Also an Alocasia such as Gageana may be a good idea for you to keep inside, as it doesn't get super large. We grow 52 different species of the common name Elephant Ear plants.
@@michelledryden4378 south Georgia is basically north Florida, haha.
@@michelledryden4378 hi Michelle. Im in Metro Atlanta & scouring YT to get ideas on how to store my Elephant Ears. When you say you put the bulbs in pots do you also cut the leaves off as well as trim the extra roots off?
@@iamqueenb1 good morning! I usually pull up my elephant ear plants and let the leaves and roots dry for a bit, then trim off leaves about an inch away from the bulb. The roots I trim back as well. These plants are tough, last yr I forgot where I had put the bulbs and when I finally found them, they were growing new shoots! In spring I just pot them back up, water well and await the miracle of spring. I use a large, heavy pot as these pants get large and heavy. You can start them early inside if you like, then move outside when weather permits. Hope this helps, happy gardening 😊
Thank you for granting my request! This was very helpful.
Thanks for sharing. I plant my in pots, because I am North and don't want to loose any. Each year I split them. They are called Rynois. Like watching you.
I’m learning about 🧑🌾 ! Watched so many videos and you definitely become my favorite ❤️🥰 you explain just the way I like it, not boring , and going right to the point + very nice voice!!! Thanks for your help, I will be watching more of your content!
I'm a new subscriber I wanted to say ur winterizing elephant ear video taught me everything I needed to know very helpful Thanku now I better get busy preparing my plants 👍💚
Love your kitty helper!
Thank you so much for this demonstration! I like your idea of not cutting the leaves off - I will definitely do that with my elephant ears this year. =)
Thank you very much for your channel here. Your production process has improved consistently over time. (it's May 2022 as I type this), making your episodes a pleasure to watch. Very good information which you present to us, done in a easy to follow/take notes kind of way. Thanks for your work, time, and energy. Enjoy! DB/Seattle
Just bought these beauties this year and didn't want to let it die once winter came. I live in Zone 5b.
I do eat taro. I buy mine from the grocery store and JUST realized that these are edible! I cut into big chunks and boil. I add them in stews along with potato or eat them with olive oil. Soooo Yummy!!
I forgot to say I peel them first.
Thank you for your great videos. After watching several I subscribed as you are the easiest person to follow that I have seen. I love that you’re so real in your video, so very human like the rest of us. You’re also delightful and I look forward to more of your videos. God bless you!
Thanks so much. I learn so much from you. Have a wonderful trip. I would love a suggestion for a pretty but small tree for a new bed I’m putting in where we took out an old splitting tree. There is no grass under the old tree so now I’m planning a new bed. Excited. Thanks again and be safe. 💕
Thank you so much for your demonstration 👍 I bought my first elephant ear plant a couple days ago.
I have planted new elephant ears year after year... Thanks to your help, I'm going to save my bulbs and grow them again next year! ❤
So informative! Thank you💝.
I grow taro and we enjoy it as vegetable, from leaves to stem to ‘bulb’, at the end of Summer! Such a treat, very yummy for me😊, remembering childhood where taro and such plants grow abundantly along the river banks.💕
Thank you so much! I’m in NYC and usually bring my elephant ear in for the winter. But I’m going to try storing the “bulbs” overwinter this year since I’ve purchased so many tropical plants this year! Appreciate all of these insights! ❤
That was a great video! I might just get elephant ears now!
The bloopers were so awesome!!!🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much. You answered all my questions in your video. I absolutely love these Plants. This is my second time winterizing them. My Wife doesn't share my fascination with them. She isn't that bright, after all she married me.
what beautiful specimen for elephant ears., Love them.
I always bring my “parent” elephant ears in as houseplants.
I got them for Mother’s Day in 2005!
I now have 5 additional pots and several that I leave in the ground, heavily mulched.
I am in the southern part of zone 6…NE Oklahoma.
This was another great video! For your Q&A, I’d love to know more about how you got started in design, a day in the life of a designer, etc. My favorite videos are you taking us to gardens you’ve created. Have a wonderful time with your family!
Hi! I'm in Arkansas, pretty humid but we'll get down to 40° at night soon. Mine are outside in huge pots. Do I need to hurry and winterize them before that temperature hits? Thanks again!
Thank you for the info. I planted my first elephant ear plant this year. It has been so much fun to watch the plant develop I hated to lose it. Now i will try to winter it over. 🌿Safe travels & enjoy your time with your family.
I hope you had a wonderful visit with your parents❤️👍. This was a great video! I never stored my elephant ears, I just buy them each summer. I will be sure to dig them up today and store them for winter.
Informative and fun, thanks!
Thank you, Yuliya!
Super helpful video. Thank you for posting
Another great video. I have some that popped out of my lawn....looks a little smaller than that but yup....It is elephant ears. Keep it up!
Great informative video! Thank you very much for all the great tips!!
Thank you, I just started growing these this year. They have done So well. I'm in the midwest, so this is a blessing, now I know how to store my babies. Thx
Love your vids,thank you fr your lovely demo! You are a joy and blessing to me.🤩
This is so helpful! Thank You!!! I have elephant and caladiums for the first time in my garden and wanted to store them to save $ by not having to buy them next year.
Thanks for the great presentation. Zone 7 Robbinsville, NJ. Is my home. I didn’t know you could clean off the rot and my bulbs do have soft spots.. I’m going to try this instead of tossing them.
So informative and helpful! Thanks so much:)
Thanks for a great vid. I've just bought a Mojito so I'll have to remember to bring that one in and keep it growing over next winter☺
New subscriber. Originally from NJ, now in WNY, zone 6. I'm planning on planting an elephant ear plant this year by our patio. I agree that it will give a fun tropical look ....especially after our long winter. Great info.
Welcome!
Great vdeo, thank you. I just bought my first Elephant Ear bulbs (culms.) Looking forward to Spring!
Thanks again for your knowledge with plants. I will dry my bulb for next year to see what happens. Have a wonderful safe trip.
Wow you answered more questions. Im zone 9, usually only frist, sometimes, after hurricanes mostly a freeze, usually hard. Had 2 frost so far, plants really fell back. Was worried, now not so much. Bulb in ground will be fine. Just 3 weeks to frost free date. Thanks so much. Ps, you really do work a mean Gardners shovel.
😊😊😊
I have loved elephants from the time I got to ride on ones back at the Kansas City Zoo. So I have wanted to grows these plants for a few year now. I finally did plant some this spring. They were in full sun and watered daily. They are so cool. I ended up with two different varieties. The Lord blessed them with several babies around all 3 of my plants. I guess after watching your video, I will give it a try. I was just planning on covering them heavily and if they didn't make it I would just buy some more next season. Thank you for explaining so even I could understand. I wanted to bring a baby inside for the winter but my Wife said no way she was going to walk around a huge plant all Winter. So I think I will anyway. I mean how big could a little baby grow through the Winter right ? lol
😂😂😂😂😂
Have a great visit with your parents! The timing on this video is fantastic for me, as I was thinking about bringing in one of my EE as a houseplant. Thanks!
One year later, just in time for me! 🇨🇦
Rewatching ❤thanks again,In passed I’ve dugout completely the plants, put in pots ( tons of work),approx.15 plants 🤩, I’ve also used some as house plants. Anyway this fall I plan on storing as bulb In heated garage. Because they take up so much room. ❤
Looks to me it is like Asian edible food called: taro. we eat them just like Americans how to eat potatoes, the roots of the plants of taro. I plant potatoes at in front of the House it wouldn't be pretty, so I planted taro. I can enjoy the looking and eat food. Specifically when Americans called them elephant ears, it makes me feel even more happier when I eat my potatoes (taro). Not sure they are the same thing.
What a great job thanks for you help !!! I love it
Thanks for these special considerations in tips...Great!
great job

Excellent video and much needed information. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, the information is very detailed. I appreciate since is the first time I’m going to do this, the step by step information is super helpful.
9/24/20, Greetings, Y G. I heard you say "NJ" & I'm in S. Jersey (mlvl) where the sand content is very high. Well, I'm experimenting w/Colocasia Esculenta, very beautiful plants I did last year; I have a compost bin where I substitute for the sand. Not knowing a whole lot about this plant, I just left them there & they came back! Encouraged by this I got some more bulbs & just planted them to see if I get those next year.
Very informative and enjoyable
Very informative! Thanks so much! I’m doing this!
Very helpful video. do you have a video now on the spring on how and when to get them started back up?
I'm glad I don't have to do that here zone 8b. Looks like their a little jumpy, love the part when you dropped it. It made me laugh hard, glad you left it in. Have a wonderful time and cherish your family. Until next time, Adios!
Excellent video, exactly what I was looking for
Thank you so much for your videos! This was my first year planting them! They were beautiful until the grasshoppers came. Now that they're gone & they're starting to grow again our temperatures are going to drop next week @ night into the 30's but then rise again. I guess I should go ahead & dig them up???
I like the shovel she was using 😀
Wonderful tutorial. Thank Ypu for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the info. I just bought 9 the size of softballs and never grew them. They are called Jumbo and should get to 6 ft. I plan on planting them in a circle around a bench or patio furniture.
Thk u so much. I named the mother bulb Francine.....and she has beautifully produced leaves for 3 years outside(protected morning sun) here....north of Atlanta Georgia. I hope to bring her pot in or at least most of her pot in for winter here. You gave me hope. I ❤️ love her magnificent leaves. Ahna USA
Yes, we cook the leaves to make Filipino dishes out of them.
How do you cook your ears & how do they taste please thx
Good morning I'd like to know how do you cook them
We eat taro. Kind of like a potato to us but wayyy more expensive. Lol. Thanks for all your help so we can have beautiful gardens too
Beautiful 🧡
Thank you for this helpful video! Also, I love your cat! They look just like my cat Fluffinz!
thanks for the information!
Thanks so much this was so helpful!
Very informative!
Beautiful elephant ears
Garden design question: end of driveway, near curb, what plants would you suggest? Mix of conifers and deciduous? I am in zone 6b Connecticut. Thanks. Love your videos. Dell 13:49 13:49 13:49 13:49
This was very informative and just what I was hoping for! You're a very good teacher! I had to laugh when you explained your mismatched gloves! I buy my garden gloves in bulk at Costco and NEVER seem to wear a matching pair! ;0)
Saaame!
YESSS me too! and I always mixmatch the blue and green ones
Same
I am your new subscriber 😀. I am digging all my Taro this afternoon. I happen to come across your video. I do the same thing like you do except letting the whole plants dried up for a couple weeks before storing. My only problem is there are some of the smaller corms dried up when I open them up in April or may. I usually pull them up 2nd week of Oct.
