this is my first full year of growing elephant ears and coladiums and I have found that if you the prune or separate side shoots and replant them elsewhere, the leaves from the mother plant will get huge. so im gonna show you how I keep them producing large leaves and more plants for the price of one.

just saw your video. Very informative thank you! I bought one plant last year and planned on getting more but now I think I'll just get two other varieties and watch them multiply.

When you said "Because I'm your buddy!" #SWOON 😇

Thanks for the video I'm from the Bahamas and they grow wild here and while at work in the field I found a patch of them so I pulled up a pup with only two leaves. The bigger leaf is wilted so I'm gonna cut it away and see what happens.

Thanks so much for this I was unsure of how far back to cut mine. But 2 of my limb's are very green but a bit hollow and cracked open... Are they dead?

Dude....most awesomely entertaining AND informational video EVER!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Nice garden nice video

Your making your own tropical island. It looks beautiful. LOL at the just a little quick video, you can't make a quick video when you're that excited about whatever you're filming. I just planted some caladium, calla lilies and hosta bulbs two weeks ago in pots. I have to figure out where I'm going to plant them in the ground now. TFS, T.

i had lots of caladiums. Something ate them uo. DON'T go out of your way. THE ears and whatever you already have are enough. headed to post office with your stuff in a few. will email you tracking info. Thanks again. Much love.

Me, me, me.......Send me some...Pleeease. lol

Such a beautiful area. Great picnic spot. I'd pay for that scenery...ever consider renting out the space for weddings? beautiful.

When you take off the leaves you should make Leaf castings. Look up how to make Leaf castings on YouTube they are really pretty
