# This is my very first colocasia, Elephant Ear 💕 I bought this bulb…

_Posted by LaMP on 2025-09-06_

This is my very first colocasia, Elephant Ear 💕  
I bought this bulb back in May. Two weeks ago I saw this sprout, and in the past 5 days the leaf has unfurled. It has been absolutely amazing to watch 🤩  
I am totally in love 🥰  
There are six more knubs poking out of the soil and I cannot wait to continue to watch this grow!

I just ADORE watching my cuprea’s leaves unfurl a little bit more each day (mine are larger than my open hand) - alocasias are just gorgeous. I love that you’re having such success!
