Live Bulbs Colocasia gigantea Thailand Giant Thai Giant Elephant Ear Huge Leaf (3 Bulbs)

I bought my first trio from these guys last year about this time, and was very disappointed by how tiny and scrawny they looked and felt.I planted them in with my hardy banana trees without any thought they could end up doing battle for territory, I thought I had been "had". I was wrong.The photos above show the trio I bought this year sitting on a five pound plastic bag of shopping-center dirt, next to a hand rake. As in last year's trio, it is not impressive.The huge bulb with snaky looking shoots was just pulled out of my cold cellar, it wintered over in a heavy duty garbage bag in the root cellar. It eight 48 pounds.It held its own against the banana trees. I only pulled one bulb up to try to winter over, I didn believe it would survive in a garbage bag. Glad I took the chance on it; it's roots rested on dry sawdust.I gave the seller five stars as the bulbs are good ones, but it is indeed a very sketchy lookin outlet, so doubts are not unwarranted.Name of seller ?888 Big Sales or Brand: MW142weird

I have elephant ears all over my yard. They are all over three feet tall in early May. None of the three bulbs grew. I dug them up to see what was going on. Nothing! No rot, but no growth. Just three hard bulbs. I put them back in the ground. I will continue to water, but disappointment.

These are long. Packed well. You can cut the bulb and actually get 9 out of 3. Good quality. Not in ground yet

It took 4 months but these finally broke through and started to grow. They are not as big and dramatic as any I have grown in the past, but they are growing.I have had success growing elephant ears BUT not these. Purchased and planted 3 according to directions in an ideal spot. 2 months have passed and nothing. Complete waste of time and $$$. Buyer beware.

Of the 3, a squirrel dug one up, one is growing at least 2 inches a day with multiple shoots, and the last is coming along slowly as I have it in a much smaller pot. I'll be using this for shade over a patio chair as they grow quite large. These were packaged perfectly and I waited a bit too long before planting as they were already sprouting inside their cardboard box. Very good price for these.

I purchased a total of 6 bulbs (2x orders) of these Elephant Ears and planted them around April 18th with the bulb tip approx half an inch below the soil surface in gently packed soil. These were an accent planting for my front yard in an area that retains rainwater. I watered them regularly and was extremely frustrated to see no growth/leaves after 8 weeks and ultimately abandoned them believing they were dead.UPDATE - All of 6 of these bulbs have sprouted leaves in the last 10 Days (July 6th) and look strong & healthy. If you're going to purchase these, water them regularly but DON'T expect results for at LEAST 2 months! These look like they have rooted well and will produce those wonderful waxy ears for years to come.

I planned these bulbs as soon as I got them. Kept waiting for something to happen. After six weeks, I thought because nothing was happening I had best check and see if they were sprouting,dead, whatever. First pot I looked at, I ouldnt find anything. The rest of the pots I dumped on the ground, and the seeds hit the ground, broke open to reveal a nasty pure white goo. I was told by Amazon assistance that there was nothing that I could do about it. I didn't get a chance to talk to the seller about the issue. Not sure if I got a bad batch, put them in a wrong mixture or what, but would've liked to be able to see if I could have educated about this product, but I guess I'll never know...THANKS AMAZON for handling that issue so professionally. Anyway, I will not buy these from the seller, or Amazon ever again, once again, THANKS AMAZON!!!

The 3 bulbs that I received were smaller than an egg. I received 3, but only 2 started growing.The two that are growing, the leave are the size of a deck of cards or cellphone. Not GIANT at all.I sent the seller an email to inform them of my disappointment. It took 6 weeks or so for the plants to go. At that time when I saw the plants were small, the seller told me that it was too late to return and get a refund because I was outside of the refund period. It is impossible to be within the refund period, when waiting for plants to bloom.I would like to see actual buyers who's bulbs purchased from this seller have GIANT leaves. I doubt there are any. The picture of the giant plants with the giant leaves look like a stock photo that anyone can get off of the internet.I have gotten bigger elephant ear plants from the local grocery store.
