What customers say
Customers love the dramatic tropical impact of the Giant Elephant Ear plant, praising the healthy, robust rhizomes received. The core theme centers on establishment uncertainty. While successful sprouts grow rapidly into magnificent specimens, validating the investment, many buyers experience frustratingly slow or nonexistent initial growth. This inconsistency polarizes the value perception; it is excellent if the plant thrives but poor if the bulb fails. Those who succeed highly recommend the plant, but new buyers should anticipate a necessary period of patience while waiting for signs of life.
