We suggest to position the the Elephant-ear in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day. These plants lose the aerial part during the coldest months of the year. As spring begins, stems and leaves quickly start to reproduce.We advise cultivating the the Elephant-ear outdoors, since it doesn't fear cold temperatures.
Cultivation Elephant-ear
These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal. The Elephant-ear Is small in size; in spring it assumes a pink colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round. The Elephant-ear is a perennial herb plant.
Fertilize Elephant-ear
We suggest adding to the irrigation water, in the spring, every 20-25 days, a specific fertilizer for flowering plants. We can also mix to the soil near the plants a granular slow release fertilizer, which has a 3-4 month action.
Water Elephant-ear
Water sporadically, with 2-3 glasses of water , leaving the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when watering we suggest avoiding excesses, but to wet the substratum well. Let's act every 1-2 weeks . Perennial plants are subject to some months of vegetational rest. During these months it isn't necessary to water them.
Pests Elephant-ear
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.
Mold Elephant-ear
We suggest a substratum characterized by an excellent drainage.
