The Leaves On My Elephant Ears Turn Black On Edges Then Die. Do You Know Why ? I Give Them Water Twice Per Week.

Question

I water them well twice per week. I fertilized with miracle grow when I planted them. Also, w have had a lot of rain this summer. But I don’t water them if it has rained.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. It sounds like overwatering, though. Instead of watering on schedule, watering should be done as the soil dries, completely, down to about 2 inches, then watered deeply.
