Hi fellow HomeTalkers!!! A friend moved into her home and the yard was already landscaped. She had these small Elephant Ears that hadn't started to grow just yet so, she asked if I'd like to take them. Of course I did. Now they've been sitting in a large bucket of water so the roots wouldn't dry out. But what/where is rhe best location to plant them?? Full/Partical sun . Thanks for your answers guys...

Place them in potting soil ,and pace them in shade.Keep moist but do-not over water.
Depending on where you live - elephant ears are bulbs that have to be dug up in the fall in the northern states - otherwise, just plant them where they have room to spread their beautiful large leaves . they are a great fill in plant.
They are great plants, but they will spread if not contained well. Maybe use a very large container to plant them in on your patio or in your yard that keeps them from spreading. You don't have to dig up bulbs depending where you live. Look it up on Google on the computer for your area.
Very sunny area
I live in the south...TN to be exact and thanks for your answers. Someone said they needed to be placed where they could have plenty of dun and shade is that true?
