Transplanting Elephant Ears for a Move: Dig, Pot, Hold

Simple, Reliable Method

1. Cut foliage to 2–3 leaves.
2. Lift corms with soil attached.
3. Place in large containers (half-barrels work).
4. Keep damp (not wet) in shade, protected from freeze.
5. Spring: divide multiplied corms; plant at new home.

Why This Works

Elephant ears (Colocasia) are tough. Minimal foliage reduces transpiration; holding in pots preserves the corm until planting season.
