elephant ear


Question
hi, i had a question about my elephant ear, upright form.  What causes browning of the leaves?  On one of my plants leaves the leaf started to turn brown on the edge.  It is in full sun, and is in moist dirt.  It has three leaves and i beleive the browning is accuring on the secound leaf. thanks.

Answer
Hi Dustin, Elephant ears like a dappled shady area, the sun burns their leaves, and they love wet feet, the more moist, the better; I would move it to an area where it is shaded from a larger object (structure, tree etc.)..and lots of water and fertilizer! Nick
