# My elephant ear needs help! A week ago it rained pretty hard and one…

_Posted by Leida Emilia on 2023-12-27_

My elephant ear needs help! A week ago it rained pretty hard and one of the leaves on my elephant ear took a big hit. I started noticing that it is also beginning to turn yellow but I have it on a watering schedule and haven’t missed a day so I don’t think it’s a watering issue. Any suggestions on how I can make her green again or do I need to cut her off?

Plants don’t like being watered on a schedule. They need less water in the winter, and the soil should be checked before watering

Thank you!
