I’m so happy with my beautiful elephant ear! I’ve had it nearly a year and it’s gone from three leaves to six 😊

Do you have pictures of your plant’s progress? I have one now. It’s about 3 months old but not nearly that tall

This is in July 23, when I first got it. Tiny in comparison!

This is after a few months. For a long time, it would lose an old leaf for every new one. But now it’s more nature, it’s keeping the leaves.
