If planted in a tropical climate, elephant ears can reach a maximum size of eight feet; otherwise, they can only reach a maximum size of less than half that. Despite its beauty, exercise caution when around this plant. Ingesting elephant ear plants can be extremely harmful to both humans and animals.
