Mojito Elephant Ears

I want to say thank you to who ever it was that told me to grow the Mojito as a water plant. I tried 2 or 3 before in the ground and they only died on me. Then someone from GW said to put the pot in water and it has thrived for me. So thank you, thank you, thank you. :o)

Hi Katkin,

That was me in this thread: Tips, tricks and lessons you have learned. The funny thing was, that thread didn't get all that much response. I thought it was really going to fly! But I did learn a lot of good things from those that responded and I'm glad one of my tips helped you. I am still growing my Mojitos in pots with no drain holes and lots of water (during the active growing season ) and they have been just fine ever since! Think I'm going to go back and read everyone else's tips again.

Happy gardening!

Thanks, Carol. Your tip has worked really great for me and at least I am able to grow Mojito. I have another EE that hasn't grown so well and I am going to try that one in water too. :o)
