Elephant ear in pond?

[John Bachman]

My lovely wife, Little Kahunah (her mother is Big Kahunah), got two
elephant ear bulbs for Mother's Day. She is thinking of putting one
in a large clay pot and put it into a shallow part of our pond. It
would look really cool there and provide some much needed shade.

Anyone have experience with elephant ear in their ponds?

I can see it coming: "No elephant ear but I put in a rhino horn and
the fish became nymphomaniacs."

TIA anyway.

===========================
I haven't but did read they need a damp but well drained soil. The bulb may
rot if put into a pond. Let us know if it works for your wife. :-)

Elepphant ears require wet yet well drained soils. Taro can be used
directly n water, but elephant ears do poorly with continous wet feet.
They may look similar but they are different in regards to their
needs..Why not plant the bulb in a large pot and set it alongside the
pond to still give shade. We have a stand of EE on our back patio,
between the house and slab portion that gets huyge.oiver 6 ot 7 feet
tall and leaves 3 feet or better, and it forms a nice umbrella
alongside the hot tub and table, but it requires massive trimming
during the summer month so it does not get out of hand. So if you want
a look alike type plant to resemble elephant ears geta taro plant.
They grow fast as well.

Thanks for sharing with the world that you are a complete imbecile, Johnny

Have your kids show you how to do a Google search for more info.

This is *hilarious*.
Especially coming from a fat has-been such as yourself; running a toy
swerver that caters to t0rrls.
Shame on you Mighty Baloo!
How far you have fallen.
BTW, ****flaps, isn't it just slightly disengenuous to bitch about a
froups line whilst not trimming it yourself?
Oh and FYI; if you dont want the children to send you email try not using
a valid addy.
