howdy yall my elephant ear plant has been doing rough.

back story: It used to be outside in the summer, then i brought it inside, put it in a huge pot (probably shouldn’t have done that). then i over watered it :( then last week i moved it to the smaller nursery pot since it was growing slower. im gonna leave my plant alone now for now 😭Does anyone know why my elephant ear plant is growing so slow /or have the same problem??

Overwatering can slow growth. Lack of sufficient light, humidity and fertilizer all affect plant growth. Put it under a grow light for at least 8 hours. Fertilize once a month with diluted fertilizer.

thank you! any suggestions on which grow lamp/brand i should get?

You can get one under $25 on Amazon or similar sites that is adjustable, comes with a timer and covers several plants in 4 inch pots. I don’t have any particular brand to recommend.
