Elephant Ear Bulbs

Question

I received about 10 small elephant ear bulbs from my neighbor and I, not knowing, planted them all in one pot. Should I repot some of the bulbs, or will they be okay all in the same pot? I also did the same with red cannas, and am wondering if I need to repot those as well. Thanks!

Answer 1

Either or either...I think it depends on the size of the bulbs and size of container. I often put several small elephant ear bulbs together, then divide into singles latter. Canna bulbs can get so ensnarled quickly, so I usually put 1 8'' section and a couple smaller ones in a 1 gallon pot.
