Bumpy texture on leaves

Brown edging along leaves.

We had a bit of an accident almost two weeks ago when repotting our #ElephantEar and a stem broke off. I put it in a jar of water right away and it has been growing roots and a new leaf! When will these roots be soil ready?

Hi, is this overcrowded? I brought her home a couple weeks ago and there was a ton of yellowing and drooping, so I’ve already trimmed down quite a bit and she’s pushing some new growth! There are a ton of plants in one massive pot, so I’m wondering if I should separate into smaller pots or leave her alone? I’m a new #ElephantEar owner so any advice is welcome! Thanks in advance! #Taro #Colocasia

Here’s my new plant tower in the bathroom under the skylight. Love this look and I’m trying hard to give the top plant- “sigmund the taro” plant what he needs. But he’s looking more pale and growing smaller and new growth is turning yellow. I already repotted him once before and gave fertilizer and being mindful of watering amounts. He is one of my harder plants to make happy. Hope I can figure out what he needs 🤞🏼 #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantLove #UrbanJungle #Taro #help

I impulsively got this today 🙈 couldn’t help myself, she is a beauty. Looking for care tips please! I’m seeing a lot of conflicting info regarding light needs in particular. She will stay indoors as I live in an extremely hot, dry climate. Thanks in advance! #ElephantEar #Taro

Hi!! Everytime a new leaf comes in and grows, it begins to brown and shrivel, and eventually it dies off or I cut it off. How can I help this plant? I’ve moved it from inside to outside, in the sun, partial shade, etc. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong 🥲

Oooo! Elina has some awesome new action!! #HappyPlants
