Does anyone have experience growing Elephant ear bulbs indoor. I have some and they won’t unfurl their leaves. Someone had mention getting Sphagnum moss and putting in on top of the soil. Anyone else have tips? (Plant is facing the south)

Up humidity and you could also try using a warm wet cloth around the leaf for a few mins. it’ll help it unfurl quickly! I wouldn’t suggest putting sphagnum moss on top of the soil…. It’ll retain way too much moisture in the soil and possibly cause issues with root rot down the road

Usually stuck leaves are the result of not enough sunlight, or not enough water. But in my experience the sunlight is huge especially with elephant ears. If it were me, that thing would be as close to the window as possible.
