How to Use Illustris Elephant's Ear in the Landscape/h3>

This opulent plant is more versatile than you might think. Grow it in the ground or in containers.

Areas with warm winters can leave them in place all year-round. Each plant will grow to the mature spread listed on the Plant Highlights.

Try several for a unique screen, planting the corms two to three feet apart. Add to a truly fabulous collection of Colocasia, highlighting the showy downturned drama of Illustris front and center.

In cold winter zones, you can also plant them in the ground as a single season annual. By the time the nights grow cooler, you'll have a terrific plant worthy of your neighbors' jealousy.

If you want to overwinter your plant, you can trim back the foliage, then lift the large corm out of the ground. Remove the roots and allow it to dry indoors. Store them in a cool, dark area and replant once all threat of frost has passed.

You can also appreciate their electrifying charm in outdoor containers across the country. Why not spice up your balcony for divaliscious apartment living?

In frosty winters, bring the pot indoors, and trim back for use as a temporary houseplant. Don't overwater your Illustris Elephant's Ear indoors.

Add them to the edge of ponds, or use on your patio or pool deck. Kids absolutely adore the huge leaves, so plant one by their play structure.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Illustris can be grown in either full sun or partial shade. They require consistent water, and frequent fertilization.

Potted Illustris should be planted at the same level it was growing in the pot. Dig down to eight inches and turn the soil over to loosen it.

Use a rich soil during planting, amending with handfuls of compost. Top dress with additional compost and mulch to a depth of three inches.

Use a slow-release organic fertilizer formula according to the label directions. These plants are heavy feeders.

Trim the spent leaves back as needed to tidy up your presentation. We recommend that you wear gloves, as you may be sensitive to the oxalates in the sap.

Enjoy your showy Illustris Elephant's Ear. You'll love all the compliments...order today!

Keeps her busy!
Color: Medium size (5.9")
Our Molly loves this. Only thing is that it is a little too big for our Maltipoo, but she still tries to keep up with it.

So far my dog hasn’t destroyed it! And it’s been a month. So I call that a win. Plus he loves it.

This is a great ball for high energy dogs.
Color: Blue
I have a Belgian Malinois, so you can imagine the Maligator jaws. Just opened this today and let her play with it indoors. She LOVES IT. It wore her out and it’s a toy she can really stay focused on without needing me to throw or roll for her. It moves on its own! I supervised her play. I was hoping it was too big to get under the couch, but no. It goes right under it. I had to block off the gap so I didn’t have to keep getting it out from under for her. The outter “shell” is very durable! When she had resting moments, she chewed it pretty good - I could hear the material squeaking against her teeth. I was worried she was tearing it up, but nope! Not a mark on it. It’s easy to set up and operate. It needed charging before play. After hours of play, she was able to somehow unscrew the outter shell. This concerned me bc the smaller, inner ball mechanism came out but I saw it right away and was able to put it back together. So, make sure it’s screwed together tightly (which I thought I had done without breaking it) and check it from time to time to make sure it hasn’t loosened. This is a great ball for her incredible high energy drive. It gives her the work and fun play she needs to get tired, which I love. This toy is on the expensive end, but so far it’s worth it. Now we’ll see how long it lasts!

Love love it
Color: Blue
Best dog toy ever. I have a 1 year old boxer who is full of energy (understatement). This ball has provided more entertainment for us both than any dog toy I’ve ever purchased. Charge holds well and has a very resilient shell. I love it. Worth the price.

Great ball for limited entertainment. Replaceable outer shell is an amazing option!
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Bought this for our 45lb, ball-obsessed Dutch shepherd/pit bull dog mix. I had one of these years ago with the hard shell and couldn’t be happier with the new foam shell. The new foam shell is much quieter and while our dog might put holes in it with his teeth, he doesn’t seem to ever pull pieces off. For engagement level, he found it VERY interesting at first and was scared to grab it, but once he got over that he started holding it in his mouth even when it shakes and just tries to keep it. Isn’t the best for fetch or anything as he has trouble letting it go when it is actively moving, but it makes him happy while he has it. We just make sure to monitor him while it is out. The ability to change the outer shell and just buy a replacement for the shell instead of a whole new toy is a lovely feature that makes me very happy to continue buying from this company.
