They're grown from tuberous rhizomes and can reach impressive sizes quickly. Watering: These are high water plants. The more water they get the bigger they’ll grow. Some varieties will even thrive when planted in a pot and grown as a marginal pond plant. (Pot fully submerged.) Containers will need to be watered daily during the summer. Plan on giving plants at least 2-3 inches of water per week.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Planting: When planting new elephant ears or re-planting for the spring, set corms in the garden when nighttime temperatures are consistently 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit. Plant 4-6 inches deep. (The bigger the bulb the deeper it goes.) Most elephant ears will grow to be at least 4 feet wide, so give them space!  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fertilizing: Elephant ears are heavy eaters, as well as drinkers. Fertilize monthly with a general fertilizer of choice. Organic slow release fertilizers will last longer, so choose something like bonemeal or bloodmeal when possible.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Hardy in Zones 9-11.
