HELP🥲My elephant ear had such big leaves when I first got him. (1st pic) I was doing well with him for a while (2nd pic) but now he just puts out smaller and smaller leaves(3rd pic)..any advice on getting him full and luscious again?

I think smaller leaves usually mean a plant needs more sunlight. Maybe a window with more sun or a grow light?

I just started using a grow light for 12 hrs of the day so I will see how that goes!

My window is south facing which sucks so not much sunlight

Are you located in the northern hemisphere? If so, south facing windows typically get the most sunlight!
