Ligularia tussilaginea
Elephant Ears, Giant Leopard Plant
Ligularia tussilaginea care is simply about getting a few easy things right so the plant thrives. They prefer a sheltered spot in part shade. A well-drained, fertile soil is crucial for success as heavy and wet soils can cause root rot issues. Adding organic matter like compost into the soil during planting will help with soil fertility. They prefer a moist soil so consistent watering is essential, especially during dry periods but be careful to avoid overwatering. Applying shrub fertiliser in spring will keep the plants well-fed for the year. Prune in autumn and winter to remove spent leaves. New leaves will emerge when conditions warm. Applying mulch around the base of the plant helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Monitor for fungal diseases that cause spots on the leaves and treat as needed with a copper fungicide.
