#taro #elephantsears #calocasia #electricbluegecko very dissapointed in this! It only got about a half dozen leaves and they didn't get very big 🤔 but of course I do love the color!

Looks good Shelley maybe next year they’ll b larger!! Now do u cut them back?? I’m thinking of cutting all mine back and planting them in the ground. Would I plant them in the ground now or like February/March (the bulbs)😊💕

@terrimclaughlin yes they will get cut back, If yours is hardy to stay outside all winter now is a good time to plant them in the ground, I would wait to cut them back though, they will slowly die away 💘😍

@columbiariver thanks! It's in a pot on the patio close to the BBQ, they are smaller in pots but this is extreme to me!💘😍
