Ready to Grow 15 Colocasia Esculenta Elephant Ear Taro Gabi Kalo Eddo Bulbs by Greenhouse PCA

I am from Texas and this is the end of summer. Placed this in wet garden soil and left it in the shade with filtered sunlight. Grew after 3-5 days. It has sprputs now. I am planning to transplant this in spring. I have plenty of bulbs left just in case this doesn't succeed. Keep your extra bulbs dry and they actually grow even by just keeping them in your pantry! Will update.

I originally gave these bulbs a 1 as it looked like none of them would grow. They took a while to come up, but they did. They look very nice and I would purchase again.

I ordered these and planted , only 1 came up. I contacted the sell and wrote this and this was their answer.. mind you I live in Washington, the East side 85-98 degrees. I have grown these for the past 5 years, no problems sent Jun 25, 2024 8:18 PM Out of 15 of these Bulbs only 1 is growing.....Disgusted,,this is the second time this has happened with this company. Didn't realize it was the same company as the first returned order... This is their answer....Hi Patty, It was never guaranteed that they would grow. It all depends on the soil, climate zone, and weather. At least you get some resorts. These are tropical bulbs coming in from Ecuador. And you are in Washington. II have always grown big beautiful elephant Ears but not from this company...I have gone back and forth with them to get a refund from them and all they do is send excuse..., finally Amazon gave me a full refund. Do not order from them if you want beautiful plants and don't want to deal with the hassle of refunds from them.

The tubers (bulbs) were packed in a padded envelope. When I received them some were already staring to grow tiny roots and shoots! They were normal size for this type of ear. The tuber (bulbs) appeared to be healthy and viable. I only had 2 that did not take. Which I'm impressed with, because I didn't expect so many to make it! Like any other plant you never know! They are all growing at diffrent rates. Although all planted Sametime. They are are going to look super when they get bigger! They have a rich dark green in color.

I ordered 20 bulbs, received 18. I planted all of the bulbs in 6 pots, only 8 of them sprouted into plants. The eight that sprouted are growing well. I would have liked for all of them to have grown.

I'll adjust the rating if they sprout. They were planted perfectly seven weeks ago. No real reason for concern until eight weeks. They are small corms. Usually, the large elephant ears have very large corms. I'll be surprised if these are the BIG ELEPHANT EARS. The one that has sprouted has a 5 inch leaf so far. Always fair in my reviews, and will adjust up or down as needed. Current opinion - a huge waste of time and money. So much time to plant properly. Terribly disappointed. UPDATE: Well into the season, and about 50% sprouted. Changed from one star to three stars. It is a literal flip of a coin if any one corn (tuber) can grow in perfect conditions. Update TWO: It has been a couple of years, and about 8 of the plants are still doing well. I ordered a second order that came very quickly. They will go in the ground on May 8th, 2026. I hope to have as good or better results on order number two. They are small tubers, but that's OK. The grapefruit-sized tubers can cost $10-$20 each, depending on who you buy them from. These are about tennis ball size or smaller. After two 1/2 seasons leaf size is still under 18". I have increased my 3-star rating to a 4-star rating. It is NOT uncommon to have a tyber turn to mush. Sometimes they grow, sometimes they rot. I may have overwatered the first order. Half grew.

Great size bulbs and even got an extra one so that was nice! Appear to be healthy too

When I took a chance on these, there weren’t really any reviews. It took a while to receive them and they were packaged in wood shavings in a USPS mailer, so I thought for sure I made a mistake in buying. I planted them in clay soil in a shady area and after a couple weeks I realized that’s not the best spot for them. So I dug them up and put them in some nursery cans until I could find a good full sun spot. They’ve been living in their nursery pots for about 2 months now and look absolutely great. I only had one out of the bunch not grow and that’s because a chipmunk or squirrel took a bite out of the bulb. Even one bulb that was kind of soft when I planted it ended up putting on growth. It just took longer. These are so low maintenance, I literally just water them whenever the soil looks dry, but they’re definitely conversation starters. I grew up with my dad having elephant ears in his garden but this is my first time planting and caring for them myself. I’m in zone 7 (Virginia). The pictures I attached go from May through June 2021. I planted them sometime in April.
