You know the baby when I got it was so small just a tiny like 1/4 clump with little soil wrapped in paper towel . I pot it up first with this Jewel of Opal variegated cutting that was wrapped with me. Duh I thoi=ught they were one plant. Then they grew and grew together in this 4 inch pot ! Now mind you this was just edn of Nov/begin of Dec. Then I was going over plant cuttings with person I traded and figured I had two plant growing together . They were doing real well and seemed to enjoy each others company !
When I separated them it seemed like the Elephant ear was Ok to make into two plants ( if there is a bulb in there its very tiny their young babies though good root systems and maybe 6-9" tall) . which I did, and the Jewel of Opal vareigated plant is now in two 4 inch pots one I promised out .
And then the EE ( I have name) are in 2 pots. So one pot little cuttings turned into 4 :))
Yes EE do have Pups off shoot plants I guess their called .
My plant above first picture had a tiny , tiny bulb with one small leaf in with it when I got it so I potted it up and see what it will do :))
I hopping to get some more I really like them ! Some kind people in Dg Florida forum might share some Pups with me !!
We enjoy growing Bromelaids too and they have Pups to share :))
