Ready to Grow 15 Colocasia Esculenta Elephant Ear Taro Gabi Kalo Eddo Bulbs by Greenhouse PCA

Great size bulbs and even got an extra one so that was nice! Appear to be healthy too

Arrived in June 6th and I planted 10 like a week after they arrived. It’s now 3 weeks later and already many have sprouted leaves. Wasn’t sure which way was up so I planted them sideways.

Update - not one bulb produced a plant. Waste of time planting. Bulbs looked great except you couldn’t tell which side was top. Both ends appeared the same. However out of that many you’d think at least one would have grown. Not even one did. These are really large bulbs so they will need a big pot unless you are planting in the ground. I put mine is pots to get them started. However, it is very hard to tell which sid is up. Most of them don't look anything like the photo on their page with directions on how to plant. Hopefully, I get at least half to come up. I will review back in a few months to let you know. They did appear healthy when I got them.

Arrived on time well packed. I do not need to wait for these to grow before I leave feedback. I had my concerns after reading some of the feedback here. I have planted bulbs for over 45 years part of my job. When I opened these babies up I was shocked to see nice size bulbs in perfect condition. I knew Immediately I had 15 winners. The bulbs are quite a bit larger than expected for the price. All 15 are the same size. NO tiny bulbs in the lot. You can find bulbs that are 5 times the size of these on Amazon for $19.99 each. These will be beautiful this year and will be full size bulbs in a couple years. Awesome deal here folks. John B

Bulbs did not ship well, a few were decimated or empty, never experienced that before. Ordered a second set and the same thing with that order a few (5) were mushy or decimated. The ones that were ok are doing well, grew faster than I thought. Very impressed with the quality.

These came ready to be planted. Some already had roots emerging. Not all sprouted but 75% did!

When I took a chance on these, there weren’t really any reviews. It took a while to receive them and they were packaged in wood shavings in a USPS mailer, so I thought for sure I made a mistake in buying. I planted them in clay soil in a shady area and after a couple weeks I realized that’s not the best spot for them. So I dug them up and put them in some nursery cans until I could find a good full sun spot. They’ve been living in their nursery pots for about 2 months now and look absolutely great. I only had one out of the bunch not grow and that’s because a chipmunk or squirrel took a bite out of the bulb. Even one bulb that was kind of soft when I planted it ended up putting on growth. It just took longer. These are so low maintenance, I literally just water them whenever the soil looks dry, but they’re definitely conversation starters. I grew up with my dad having elephant ears in his garden but this is my first time planting and caring for them myself. I’m in zone 7 (Virginia). The pictures I attached go from May through June 2021. I planted them sometime in April.

The tubers (bulbs) were packed in a padded envelope. When I received them some were already staring to grow tiny roots and shoots! They were normal size for this type of ear. The tuber (bulbs) appeared to be healthy and viable. I only had 2 that did not take. Which I'm impressed with, because I didn't expect so many to make it! Like any other plant you never know! They are all growing at diffrent rates. Although all planted Sametime. They are are going to look super when they get bigger! They have a rich dark green in color.
