READY to GROW 10 Colocasia Esculenta Elephant Ear Taro Poi Gabi Kalo Eddo Bulbs

Great buy!!! The bulbs were well packaged and ready to be planted. I can’t believe how fast they are growing. I planted these mid March and this is how they are looking so far

My box of bulbs arrived safe, dry, and alive! The bulbs were surrounded by wood shavings and no signs of rot or mold were present.I live in Southern Indiana, considered Grow Zone 6a. After planting these after last frost in spring, they popped up in less than a month. I found that the plants in direct sun grew faster and bigger, popping new leaves every couple weeks. I transplanted a few well-established and leaf-producing bulbs and they bounced back quickly. When I mulched them over this fall in preparation for winter, there were a few new “babies” at the base of each bulb.I’m super pleased with this purchase and very well may browse their shop for more!

Never came up

I was worried that these would not ever get shipped as they shipped out only a day before I was supposed to get them(the order was in for multiple days with no progress other than a label created). Once they finally shipped they arrived two days after they were supposed to arrive. Packaging was decent, although there are a few bulbs that are questionable. One looks like something either ate half of it or that it partially was rotted and some one dug the rot out. A couple have a few soft spots. And thankfully there were a few with active eyes on the bulbs. Hopefully it is all just cosmetic and they start no problem. We will see here soon!

I received the bulbs May 18, and planted them May 19. I was a little concerned after reading the reviews, so I planted some in the ground, partial shade, in zone 9b Florida. The other half were planted in pots, two in garden dirt and the rest in potting soil. I’ve dug some up to examine them, but some I didn’t need to. They’re growing!Of the 12 I planted, the two in the pots in garden dirt rotted after sprouting. I blame the dirt for this. There were aphids in the dirt, apparently. All the ones in potting soil are sprouting or have sprouted well. The tallest is a couple inches above the soil now. Most are still below soil but growing well enough that they should be above soil in a week or so. We’ve had temps in the high 90s, so the soil hasn’t been as wet as I would normally want it.All of the ones in the ground are sprouting very well and are healthiest. One bulb was attacked by a squirrel that ate off the top leaves, but it has healthy looking roots, so I’m leaving it.EDIT: As of June 21, all of the plants are thriving. Most are over 2 feet tall with leaves over a foot in size.

You are taking a chance buying this product. I only had one that grew. The rest of them did not grow yet and it's been a few months. We see if it grow next year.

Great lot of 10 elephant ear bulbs (colocasia esculenta). Out of 10, 8 stems have come out so far. I live in zone 9. After a few days in the dark, I planted 5 in flower pots, 3 in the ground in half shade and 2 in the shade, but they have not come out yet. I planted them at 2 inches below the surface. It took an average of 3 weeks for them to come out. I think it is great for the bulbs to be in the sun and being watered everyday. When you plant the bulbs their bottom is recognizable by the little circles where once there were roots. If not sure, plant them horizontally. The seller is great, their customer service is top. I am very very happy with this purchase and really excited to see all these plants growing big! The bulbs were delivered promptly by USPS and arrived in perfect condition. They were very well packed. Great company and great product.

Awesome.I'm not a green thumb. But i can tell you how to grow these.Step 1... examine bulbs for rot. If rot throw away.Step 2... place bulbs in clear solo cup. When placing look for the rings on one end. That end points up.Step 3... do not add water, just use the initial moisture present in the dirt.Step 4... wait a week. The solo cup will reveal the roots growing.Step 5... find a spot in your yard or garden. Dig hole about ten inch diameter. And about ten inches deep. Just loosing the soil. Step 6... wait after sun is not blazing down. 5 or 6 pm. pull slowly from solo cup, or split solo cup into. Place plant in the hole. The bulb will be about 2 inches earthed. Medium pack dirt. Do not water until next evening.Step 7... water next evening. Quart of water.Step 8... lightly water every 2-3 days when sun is not around.Step 9... enjoy... once its in the ground for two weeks. It will suck up all the water you can throw at it.
