A good way to get more EE plants is to use the bulb section method. Clean the bulb and cut into one inch cubes like a potato. Each bulb fragment will start a new plant. I learned this at a hospital parking lot, the landscaper hit a elephant ear trunk with a lawnmower and each fragment started a new plant. You can actually get over a hundred plants from one good size trunk! I use this method on my rarer plants like Mac Albo. Does anyone know any other tricks or have a Mac Albo pic to share? Variegated Monstera will work too! I need some eye candy.
