| Which end do you plant up or does it matter? Mine have been in potted dirt for 2 to 3 weeks and nothing yet. One of them feel pretty soft almost rotten feeling. |

| Unless you planted them upside (pointed end should be up, rougher side down) down they'll start to sprout when the soil temp gets warm enough. |

| That mushy feeling means it's rotted. It should be firm, like a good onion. |

| The one that is mushy needs to be dug up and the mushy part cut off and the good part needs to be allowed to dry a few days to heal and be replanted. Your soil is not wet is it? They will rot in wet soil. |

| I just bought an elephant ear plant and put it in water, in a fish pond. Isn't that where they grow? wfike asked if the soil was wet. I live in southern California, and bought a black elephant ear plant. What do I do with it if it doesn't go in the water? |
