You can't remove the bulb due to the roots? Just cut the roots off. They aren't needed for storage. Perhaps I misunderstood?

Okay, but the problem is that the whole pot of soil comes out with the EE. its almost like this ee doesnt want to let go of its soil. Its like you try to pull the bulb out and the whole thing comes with it.. Can you tell me what to do?

It sounds like the roots have thoroughly colonized the potting mix. That's perfectly fine.

Either remove everything from the container and remove the bulb, or use a knife and cut around the roots and under the bulb and remove it.

Three years age I went to Wal-Mart and bought three Elephant Ear bulbs that were the size of softballs. Put them in a 19" pot and forced them in the greenhouse in early February. By spring there was 15 stalks (BIG). They were about 7' tall when they were placed outside-just beautiful! Fall comes and the pot goes back into the greenhouse. By spring of the 2nd year there was 47 big stalks and almost no room for expansion. Place them in their pool of water and kept them feed and again they were bigger and fuller and even more beautiful than before. Well fall comes and the pot is so full that it was distorted by the growth. So I tried to pull them out of the pot and couldn't. Turned the pot on it's side and cut all the roots that were growing out of the bottom, step several times on the side of the pot and slowly they came out. Nearly solid bulbs. Used the power sprayer with the car wash nozzle and began washing the soil away. Took some time but finally had them apart and clean of soil, all 67! The three original bulbs were 6" thick and about 14" long, most of the others varied in size from softballs to golf-balls. Placed them on a wire rack in the greenhouse and left them until spring at which time they were planted in a row along the front of the house. Again they grew to 6.5-7' and looked great there. Well it is fall and have dug them up-all 186 of them. Two Wheel barrels full. Think they'll need a bigger bed next year!
