Xanthosoma sagittifolium - Yautia, Arrowleaf Elephant Ear

That's a nice looking elephant ears how big is it ?
My elephant ear i put outside to early and it got caught by a late frost and it killed all the leaves of which was really annoying as it had even flowered over X~mas but im glad to say it is startingf to come back now :0))))

Mushybanna:

These plants are probably about 12 feet/ 3.7 meters tall. The leaves around 8 feet/ 2.5 meters long. It grows to become an enormous plant and spreads by tubers.

Ahhh.... inspiration for my little Eddoes and Alocasia! do they need to be pot bound...or should I put them in a large deep pot with plenty of soil?

Lori:

In pots they prefer to be a little root-bound. Most Alocasia, Colocasia and Xanthosoma prefer to have very good draining soil in a pot also.

looks like I might have done it right! How about that?

Lori:

That's great! : > )

Isn't that called 'Malanga' at Asian markets?

I know it called yautia in the Caribbean, where its native.
