Elephant Ear Exploded At The Stalk

Question

Hi my elephant ear plant seems to have exploded.. I woke up to discover several leaves on the floor and their stocks looking like they’ve been peeled back almost like they exploded and the leaf fell off! please let me know if you’ve heard or seen anything like this? they were out in the rain for 15 minutes yesterday which is not unusual for them, other than that there wasn’t anything drastically changed about their environment or their treatment! thank you so much

Answer 1

There should be a seed cluster on top of that formation. They may have been eaten. This is natural.
