The top looks like it has a bullseye on it, and the bottom looks like it has little eyes all over it. I can never tell by the "blunt side." But if all else fails do them sideways, I used to when I first started. I have them in pots on the deck, and out in the front, they will find the sun. If you do them upside down though, they won't grow 😂 I've tried! 🤦♀️ Good luck!

Yes, The reason I drenched the pots because the soil was completely dry. You may not need to water them often because you don’t want the bulbs to rot. Once you see new growth emerge then consider watering them, but not often.

Elephant ears are normally planted during the spring season once the threat of frost has passed. Give your elephant ears bulbs a thoroughly soaking of water once the tubers have been planted. Continue to water at least 2-3 inches of water per week throughout the growing season; depending on your climate.🦋

Welcome to the gardening world. 🦋 I like using coffee filters to cover the large drainage holes allowing the water, but not the dirt to flow out. It also helps to retain moisture. The weather is too cool for my elephant ears to show growth. When the temperature increases above 50°F then I will see some growth; I have not transplanted them to the black containers as of yet.

That’s great news to hear you already see growth. I’ve moved my elephant ears outside to my unheated greenhouse I guesstimate that I should see some growth probably around April 27th that will be 8 weeks for me. Elephant ears are tropical plants and they respond to warmer climates my average nighttime temperature in zone 7 is around 40°F so once the temperature is slightly warmer I should also have growth.🦋
