| I have two types of elephant ears, a black magic, which is a colocasia (I think) and a bright green on named Elena, which is an alocasia. Both are potted on my deck and doing great. Can I store the bulbs in peat moss in a dark cool place,like dahalia's? |

| hey green passion, both of your plants can be stored like dahlias, or they can be kept in the pots and allowed to go dormant.. btw, elena is a colocasia as well. |

| Good to know. Storing my elephant ears for the first year too! :-) I couldn't believe storing my dahlias actually worked. (I always think things aren't going to work as well as I read about... and I'm often right. haha.) But, now I have about forty dahlias. |
