# Hi does anyone have any care tips for elephant ears? I’ve struggled…

_Posted by Mackenzie on 2023-06-10_

Hi does anyone have any care tips for elephant ears? I’ve struggled so much with the plant. For a while the leaves were yellowing and dropping and now they’re getting brown at the tip and it’s just looking week. I repotted it shortly after getting it as the roots were coming out the bottom on the pot and just a few weeks after putting it in a bigger pot the roots are already growing out of this one too. I’ll take any help with this guy!

How much light is the pot receiving? Do you fertilize? People typically grow this plant outside and then overwinter the bulb when the growing season is over
