# I have two different types of elephant ears: Black Coral and Maui…

_Posted by Sadee Smith on 2024-04-15_

I have two different types of elephant ears: Black Coral and Maui Gold.

How do you guys take care of them?

I am seeing mixed things about both the types.

I know they don’t like to be watered a lot. This site says water them once a week or every 5 days.

How big of a pot do you plant them in? Is it an inch bigger or 1/2 an inch? What?

Do they like to be in sunlight? Direct? Shade? This site said they like partial sun/shade and they like the temp to be 59-90 degrees.

Any information and advice helps! TIA!
