Elephant Ear division

15 years ago

Can anyone tell me if it is too late to divide my EE? I made the mistake of bringing them up from the basement about 2 months ago and did not divide them then. Each container now has between 3 and 5 croms.

They are growing well and will be ready to go out doors soon but I am concerned that the containers are not large enough to support the growth of this many EEÂs and would also like to give a crom or two to my mail lady, she is a doll.

Will dividing them now cause unrecoverable plant damage?

I think you will be fine dividing them now. I've done it in the middle of the summer and my plants didn't skip a beat.
