Sadly, I moved and all my old plants died (it was over 10 of them). They didn’t survive the move \& slowly died all at once. I’m finally starting my plant collection back up so I wanted to show off my new beauties. 🥹💕  
I also just started a garden a couple days ago \& planted a mammoth elephant ear bulb, which I’m excited for it to grow. I know elephant ears can be stubborn to grow so any advice would be awesome. I currently have it in a 12 inch pot with a mix of 2 different soils - all purpose \& peat moss blend. It sits in the sunniest window of my apartment but once the freeze warnings are gone, it will be moved outside. I live in Missouri so the weather here gets EXTREMELY hot \& cold.

The garden was started as seeds the same day as the elephant ear \& has a grow light as it’s in my kitchen that has no windows. Once those start growing, they will also be moved outside to the patio. 🙂

Love the new plants 😊 so sorry you lost so many plants in the move, though! That’s terrible! 🥺 here’s to hoping you can build your plant collection back soon 🥹
