They will measure anywhere from 3” to 6” inches long The "group" photos are its parents and offspring here in Tallahassee Florida. Plants will be sent bare root For miniature plant You can keep elephant ear plants small in pots by using a smaller pot. The size of the pot determines the size of the plant, so a smaller pot will result in a smaller plant. For example, a 10–12 inch pot can produce a plant that's 36–60 inches tall, depending on the variety. The roots can also be trimmed periodically to keep plant small. The largest pot you'll need is usually 18 inches in diameter, but 14 inches is often ideal. For larger plants: just keep increasing the size of pot or plant in soil outdoors. The stems and leaves will freeze below 28 degrees, but not the roots. The leaves will most likely be withered from travel. Give the plant about 2 weeks to spring back! They don't like to be moved! Either way, you should see new growth in about 3 weeks after the shock of travelling wears off! These plants grow faster as they mature. If grown in a container, the size can be controlled by the size of the container. Benefits: Besides its ornamental value, Colocasia Araceae can help purify the air. It's also relatively easy to care for, given the right environmental conditions, making it a rewarding plant for novice gardeners. Temperature and Humidity: The plant can be grown in the ground or in large containers. They are grown outside year-round in subtropical and tropical areas. In temperate regions, they are planted out for the summer and dug up and stored over winter, dry and with ventilation to prevent fungal infection. They can be grown in almost any temperature zone as long as the summer is warm. Growth is best at temperatures between 20 and 30 °C (68 and 86 °F). The plants can be damaged if temperatures fall below 10 °C (50 °F) for more than a few days. The root tuber is typically planted close to the surface. The first signs of growth will appear in 1 to 3 weeks. The adult plant will need a minimum of at least 1 m2 (11 sq. ft.) of space for good growth. They do best in compost-rich soil and in shade, but will grow reasonably well in average soil provided it is moisture-retentive. The plants should not be left to go dry for too long; if this does happen, the leaves will wilt; watering will allow the plant to recover if done before they get too dry. Periodic fertilization (every 3 to 4 weeks) with a common plant fertilizer will increase yields. **Here in Tallahassee, all of the plants above the ground froze when it went below 28 degrees Fahrenheit in January 2024. The roots were not affected and now some of the plants are over 6 feet tall! They took less than 5 months to get that tall. That is amazing!**
