Whether you’re planting in garden beds, near water features, or in containers, elephant ear caladiums bring striking texture and a vibrant, exotic look.

Planting elephant ear bulbs is effortless with a Power Planter bulb auger. No more struggling with hand tools—simply attach the auger to a drill, dig precise holes, and plant with ease.

What is the best way to plant elephant ear bulbs?

The best way to plant elephant ear bulbs is in warm, well-draining soil after the last frost. Ensure the soil temperature is at least 65°F (18°C) before planting. Use a Power Planter planting auger to dig holes 4-6 inches deep, place the bulb with the pointed side up (or smooth side down if unclear), and cover with soil. Water thoroughly after planting to encourage strong root growth.

How long does it take for elephant ear bulbs to sprout?

Most elephant ear bulbs sprout within 3-8 weeks, depending on soil warmth and moisture. Warmer temperatures (above 65°F) and consistent watering will speed up germination. Be patient, as they take time to establish before showing growth above ground.

Do elephant ear caladiums need special care?

Yes, elephant ear caladiums thrive in partial shade to full sun, depending on the variety. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, and fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer for the best results. In colder climates, trim back the foliage, carefully dig up the bulbs before winter, and store them indoors in a dry, cool place for replanting next season.
