What is a baby plant?
Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.
How tall are baby plants?
We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.
What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?
The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.

Elephant Ear Fuel contains the Ideal Nutrient Ratio to help your Alocasias and Colocasias reach their potential
Power Up Your Alocasias and Colocasias with Elephant Ear Fuel Fertilizer
Wellspring Gardens' Elephant Ear Fuel Fertilizer isn't just any fertilizer – it's a custom blend designed specifically for your Alocasias and Colocasias. Our formula includes a balanced ratio of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), the three primary macronutrients that plants need to thrive. But that's not all.
Elephant Ear Fuel also contains essential intermediate nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and sulfur, as well as a host of micronutrients. Together, these elements work to stimulate strong and healthy growth, helping your Alocasias and Colocasias reach their full potential.
Moreover, plants also need carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which they naturally get from air and water. When combined with optimal sunlight and watering practices, Elephant Ear Fuel offers the ideal nutrition profile for your plants.

Im in love
I fell in love with this plant at home depot on a friday, left it there and went back on saturday...It was gone!! Thats okay, because it is a better deal from here!!Started shopping around and found this. It was ordered on a saturday and arrived on a wednesday. It arrived a little wilted, but overall healthy.The description of the product said it would arrive in a 3" pot, it was just the plant with dirt double wrapped with bubble wrap. I dont mind only because I had some small plastic pots to start it off.Really the only reason i dont give it 5 stars is because of the snails! There was atleast 2 on the root ball, i got them out, and left the worms, and placed some eggshells around the plant.I cant wait to see this one grow from the little green baby instead of a mature plant 😁

Style: Black Velvet Elephant EarVerified Purchase
I ordered and received 2 very healthy and nicely packed plants. One has 2 leaves and the other has 3 a bit smaller leaves.
In my opinion, Alocasia’s are very temperamental and requires very controlled growing conditions. If you are new to caring for plants, you may not fair well with these. One common reason would be from over-watering and root rot.
If these die, most likely it would be more or less my own fault as they were received healthy. I typically repot my plants to avoid keeping any pest or eggs that may be hidden in the soil. However, I do not want to disturb this plant so I will keep it as it if for a little while to give it time to acclimate to the new environment.
