Can elephant ears be propogated? Feel like I just made up a word. lol. I’ve read different things and get mixed reviews. I want to know if has anyone actually tried it and has had success. My big plant that I've had since last July is dying and I feel like it's only a matter of time before it's too late so I wanted to try to save one of the leaves if possible.

Thanks in advance!

My elephant ears are all bulbs. Are there non-bulb EEs?

So mine is grown out. What I'm trying to figure out is if I cut a piece of it off am I able to repot it to make it grow? I guess the answer at this point is no. Lol I really just don't want to let go of her. 🥲

Can you post a picture?

It will grow off separate plants that will be completely completely completely separate from the original plant so when you repot it, check to see if there’s distinct ation between two different plants in the same pot it will look like this, and you can just separate it when repotting it you can’t just cut off a leafthe leaf will just die
