To successfully cultivate elephant ears, carefully plant the corms (bulbs) in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil with partial shade. Bury them at a depth of 2-4 inches, spacing them with 2-4 feet between each bulb. It is important to maintain consistent moisture by watering regularly, especially in hot weather, and occasional fertilization may be beneficial. For colder regions, consider treating them as annuals and storing the bulbs indoors during winter. While most varieties prefer partial shade, darker-colored types can tolerate more direct sunlight. Careful protection from strong winds is also recommended.
