My elephant ear (giant taro) collapsed this morning. It looked beautiful and tall yesterday. What do you think is the issue? Should I repot it in a bigger pot? I was thinking of splitting into three anyway. Let me know what you think!

I would get a pole for it to climb on!

Pole don’t split it and stress it more also check the roots to see if u need a bigger pot but definitely get a pole. If u was in Baltimore md i would give u a nice one.
