I’ve lost my biggest leaves due to weight.. can you guys show me what you do to hold them up? I didn’t want to add anything because I love the way it looks by itself 😭

    Elephant ears shed their oldest leaf pretty often. I would just snip it off and let it use its energy to make a new leaf. Indoors, they can only really sustain so many leaves so I wouldn’t worry if one or two fell off every month or so as long as there’s new growth. They don’t really need to be staked up - the plant is telling you it’s pretty done with that leaf when it drops down.

      This is the answer. If you just cut it off it’ll put out bigger leaves.

      I just noticed a new leaf popping out so I think you’re right. Thanks
