Good morning all,

Does anyone else here grow these large plants?

I bought 2 small ones last Nov but now they are are 8'-9' high and producing a lot of pups. I have removed 3 pups and replanted them in various other parts of the garden. However, I have more pups coming along and I'm not sure whether to leave them with the mother plant or remove them.

I know with aloe vera it is best to separate the pups otherwise they "drain" from the mother.

And 2ndly, my large elephant plants' leaves are drying out around the edges and looking quite shabby. They get adequate water so can anyone help me with this problem also.

Thanks

Is there a photo?

Aren't these what you get taro from? You could harvest them if you have too many.

sorry for the late reply. Wife's new phone and she wasn't too sure how to email me the picture of the damage to the leaves.

I think it might be a bug, bot not too sure.
