Proud plant parent here. This summer when repotting my elephant ear I discovered 1 single corm. I have never tried to grow one but thought hey I'll give it a shot. 6 months later after living in a moist moss container it just magically appeared.

They grow tall if you let them. Mine regular one is in a 6" pot for now and she is about 12-14" she has four leaves now.
