Elephant Ear Overwatering: Simple Tips to Avoid It.
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Today, let’s talk about something I messed up recently – overwatering my elephant ear plant. Yeah, I know, it sounds a bit funny, but it was a real headache. So, picture this: I got this beautiful elephant ear plant. It had these huge, gorgeous leaves. I was so excited to have it in my living room, adding a bit of a jungle vibe.

I was so worried about keeping it healthy that I started watering it like crazy. I mean, every other day I was there with my watering can, drenching the soil. I thought, “More water, more better, right?” Wrong! After a few weeks, I started noticing the leaves turning yellow. Some even had these brown, mushy spots. I was like, “What’s going on?” It looked so sad.

Elephant Ear Overwatering: Simple Tips to Avoid It.

I did some reading online, trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Turns out, elephant ear plants, despite their name, don’t actually like to be drowned. They need the soil to dry out a bit between waterings. Who knew? I felt so dumb.

Here’s what I did to fix my mistake:

  • First, I stopped watering it so much. I mean, I completely stopped for a while to let the soil dry out.
  • Then, I carefully removed the really damaged leaves. It hurt a little to cut them off, but it had to be done.
  • Next, I made sure the pot had good drainage. I even added some extra holes at the bottom, just in case.
  • When I did start watering again, I waited until the top inch or so of the soil felt dry to the touch. I’d stick my finger in to check.

It took a few weeks, but slowly, my elephant ear plant started to recover. I saw new leaves growing, and they looked healthy and green! I was so relieved. I learned a big lesson from this whole experience. More isn’t always better, especially when it comes to watering plants. Now, I’m much more careful, and my elephant ear is thriving. It’s a happy ending, after all!
