These babies arrived today. I am completely new to elephant ears. I know shipping was stressful but will they straighten out after a bit? Any suggestions for keeping them healthy?
This is beautiful and they are fairly easy to grow. I don't know if these leaves will straighten up but future ones should. As the plant grows the older leaves will die off, this is normal. Keep it moist but not soggy and if you're keeping it in the house you should be careful of a sunny window so the leaves don't burn. They do like sun but the window could create a magnification effect. If you put it outside, keep an eye out for burnt leaves and move it out of direct sun if they burn. Good luck
