Can someone help me with my black magic elephant ear??? Iā€™ve had such an issue with it since Iā€™ve had it and I donā€™t know what to do at this point! Iā€™ve had it inside and I woke up one day to half of the leaves being wilted off. I then plucked them and started over. Then, it got spider mites and I had to treat it for that. It ended up killing several of the leaves in the process of that. Now, as itā€™s been doing terribly inside, Iā€™ve tried moving it to the porch to get a bit more light and itā€™s not improving. What am I doing wrong šŸ˜­ I have at least 40 plants and have never had such a temperamental one before!!

    I would guess the roots are rotting as the potting mix isnā€™t airy enough.

    Looks like a root problem to me. I would check for root and put it in a much chunkier soil

    Hi! So I had soooo many issues with mine UNTIL I repotted it and realized it was in MUCH to big of a pot. Iā€™d repot it, make sure it has a very well draining mix, 1/3 perlite, 1/3 potting soil, 1/3 orchid bark. Then put it in the sunniest spot you can outside :) thatā€™s how the leaves turn black! I did all the above (minus outside, I live in NYC and just put mine under a strong grow light) and bam soooo much better. Hope that helps! Also with this type of plant, it will lose leaves all the time, donā€™t fret, thatā€™s just how the plant works, but making sure it has enough sun, and getting watered (if outside probably every other day) and making sure the pot isnā€™t too big for the plant will be life changing šŸ™šŸ½ hope that helps! I have 42 house plants so I can definitely guarantee that yours will get better ā¤ļø
