Elephant Ears
I just picked up 6 Elephant Ears bulbs (tubers?) They're as big as cantelopes.
According to the package, I can plant them indoors now (4-6 weeks before the outdoor growing season begins) I have 6 huge 10 gallon post and the rich soil mix ready to go, but 1 problem... I can't tell which way the bulb is "up". These bulbs are very clean and dirt-free and have no root or old stem remanents on it. On each bulb, one end appears to have been cut cleanly with a knife as it's kind of squared off so the bulb will sit on a flat surface. And all over the opposite side of the sphere there seem to be round discolorations of varying diameters, so I figure the squared off end is the root, and the other end is the stems. Correct? I Did a google search on these and there have been lots of posts on this board regarding elephant ears, but not this issue. TIA Now - 52 degrees and raining in Long Island NY Tomorrow - 31 and snow 2-4" .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
