    Customer photo review of Elephant Ear Bulbs - Mojito

    I’ve never seen an elephant ear bulb that was so small, so I shouldn’t have been surprised that after a long wait (normal for elephant ears) it grew to a miniature plant. Actual measurements are about 6 inches tall and each leaf is about 2.5 inches at its longest point. In the photo it’s the tiny plantin. the middle. I ordered five things from Eden brothers this spring and every one of them was a huge disappointment.

    Store owner replied: Hello Tinlizans. Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your elephant ear did not grow as you expected and that you were disappointed with your order overall. We understand how frustrating it is to invest in your garden and not see the results you were hoping for. Elephant ears can vary in size during dormancy, and bulb size alone doesn't always predict the mature size of the plant. They also tend to establish slowly, often focusing on root development before putting on significant top growth. However, we understand your concern given the limited growth you experienced. We reached out by email but haven't heard back yet. We'd still love the opportunity to help, so please reply to our original email, and we'll be happy to discuss the resolution options available to you. At Eden Brothers, we stand behind our products and are committed to making every customer's gardening experience a positive one!

    Customer photo review of Elephant Ear Bulbs - Mojito

    This took a long time to come up, but when it did, it did not disappoint. The leaves are speckled black and green and it is growing nicely in a pot with some impatiens. It’s in pretty much full shade and I give it a lot of water everyday.

    This bulb was very disappointing. It was the same or more than I pay elsewhere and about half the size! It was literally cut in half from the rest of the bulb as it it has a flat side so they are selling u half of a bulb. I have my doubts about whether this will even grow. I will not buy again from Eden Brothers.

    Store owner replied: Hello Valgirl. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that this Elephant Ear bulb you received did not meet your expectations. While elephant ear bulbs can naturally vary in shape and appearance, the condition you described is not typical of the quality we expect to provide. We have addressed this issue with our grower, as this is not what we expect for our customers. Fortunately, this is not the norm for this variety or for our elephant ear offerings in general. We have already reached out to offer a resolution, but we have not yet heard back from you. Please feel free to respond to that email so we can continue assisting you. We always stand behind our products and want our customers to be happy with their purchase and successful in their gardens!

    Sadly, this plant never germinated for me. I have others like this in the area that are all thriving.

    These did not come up. I planted with another variety of elephant ear. Those came up just fine, but the Mojito did not. Very disappointed!
