# I bought this gorgeous elephant ear at a local greenhouse. I repotted…

I bought this gorgeous elephant ear at a local greenhouse. I repotted it when I got home and then it went into shock and all the leaves died. I decided to take it out of the pot to check the roots. There were hardly any! I put it in a new terracotta pot instead of a plastic pot and cut off all the dead and look! Two new leaves! I think it may make it 🙏🏻
