Planting Instructions

Plant this lovely specimen in rich, moist, loamy soil after all danger of frost has passed. If planting in mass, space them 1 foot apart. If planting in containers for the pond, use heavy loam soil with some sand and submerge pot with up to 1 inch of water above the soil in the container. Grows well in part sun, part shade or full shade. In the north, lift bulbs after first light frost, remove foliage and remove excess soil from bulb, gently clean bulbs with water and allow to air dry in a well ventilated area outdoors for a week or two. Store bulbs in a cool, dark, dry area, indoors until spring, plant once all danger of frost has passed.

When you get your taro/elephant ear you should replant in its new large pot however acclimate this for 3-4 days out of direct sunlight on the north side of your home in a calm tray of water letting the pot uptake the moisture it needs until it acclimates some new roots and then move that new larger pot into the pond around the 4th day moving if in direct sunlight to prevent wilting after acclimation. 

 

What Is Loam Soil?

Loam soil is a good mixture of Topsoil and Sand

If you are lucky enough to have good topsoil in your backyard, by all means, use your topsoil. All you will have to do is add fertilizer. If you are not so lucky--and your backyard is sand or heavy red or yellow clay, you can mix up a batch of loam soil.

 You can create your own loam soil by mixing these two ingredients together

  • 2/3  Inorganic Topsoil (Little or no organic material added)
  • 1/3  Pool Filter Sand

 Mix together thoroughly with a little water. Your soil should clump when squeezed. If your soil is mixed properly, it will not muddy your pond water.

You can purchase inexpensive bags of inexpensive / poor Topsoil at Lowes or Home-Depot. Good soil clumps together as a ball in your hand with only a little moisture. 

Don't buy brands like Scott's or Miracle-Gro, as they will contain too much organic matter that can foul your water. Buy an unbranded bag of topsoil instead.

You can purchase Pool Filter Sand at any store that sells pool supplies.

Loam soil is well suited for all aquatic plants (except oxygenators). Oxygenators rarely need to be planted, just anchored in the substrate or in a container filled with sand or 1/8  inch pea gravel.

Sand holds little water but does allow for aeration and drainage.

Some DO's and DON'TS regarding Aquatic Planting Soil  

DO NOT use potting soils ( as they are too light and will float right out of the pot). Potting Soil has organic material that will rot and foul your water!

DO NOT add too much composted material (as it is too rich in organic matter and it will ferment underwater and destroy the ecology of your pond).

DO NOT use 100% calcined clay as there is no nutritional value in calcined clay.

DO NOT add rocks, stones or pebbles to the top of your planting container as this will inhibit the growth of your plants. Plants do not grow in rocks and stones in nature!

DO NOT purchase API Aquatic Planting Media or Microbe-lift Aquatic Planting Media as these products are NOT suitable for waterlilies, lotus or most other pond plants. They are suitable for submerged grasses ONLY!

This book helped me get focused on how to implement ai into my business and make money.
Format: Paperback
This book helped me get focused on how to implement ai into my business and make money. I bought this book in early spring to get clarity on how to use AI into my day-to-day business. I read through the book quickly because it’s very easy to read. I love the back part of the book because it details step by step how to implement the techniques he uses. I thought wow now I have somebody (who’s already succeeded) to help me figure out how to implement AI. With all the information out there it’s been hard to know what to use and what not to use and what's practical and what's not practical. From the very first page: Dan does not waste your time. I’ve read countless books over the course of my life, and this easy-to-read book stands out because it inspires and motivates the reader to take action immediately. The author takes complex concepts, the kind that usually make your eyes glaze over—and breaks them down into clear, step-by-step processes. Instead of just telling you what to do, the author shows you exactly how to do it. This is a practical book demands action. The author makes it clear: knowledge without action and implementation is worthless. He encourages readers to begin stating,” Don’t wait to start, just start, (do the outreach work) build the processes and practice, practice, practice, that's what this book is all about. Act first and then tweak the process, because nothing will happen if you don’t get started. Whether you're just starting out or your business has been operational for years, this book will help you. It's not just another good book—it's a resource that helps you move your business in the right (AI Implementation) direction. I don't often take the time to make Amazon Book recommendations. But this one? It's earned a permanent spot in my backpack, and my desk. How can this book help you? Real, practical knowledge you can use starting today.

One word - Awesome, there is nothing like it out there
Format: Kindle
This book is one of the most valuable resources I’ve come across. From start to finish, it’s packed with actionable insights and practical advice you can immediately use. There’s no filler or fluff—every page is focused on delivering value. The author clearly knows the subject matter inside and out, and it shows in the way complex ideas are explained in such an accessible manner. Finding a book that gets straight to the point without sacrificing depth is rare, but this one does exactly that. What impressed me was the level of detail in every section. The step-by-step explanations, including video explanations, ensure there’s no room for confusion or guesswork. Even topics that might feel overwhelming at first are broken down into manageable pieces, making it easy to follow along and build your understanding as you go. The author left no stone unturned in ensuring the reader has all the tools and knowledge they need to succeed. I highly recommend reading this book and taking the time to apply what you learn. Its value is unmatched, and the results will speak for themselves. Whether new to the subject or looking to deepen your expertise, this book is a game-changer. It’s not just a good read—it’s a practical guide that delivers real results if you’re willing to put in the effort.
