Give them time, sometimes the first year they are slow to get going, but once they get established, they will be booming!
Keep waiting. Elephant ears take a while.
I would give them time. Mine took weeks to come up. Just keep the soil moist....ok, I don't know if this is good, as I am a little impatient, but my elephant ears didn't seem to be coming up, so I gently dug down in the soil to peek at them. I thought maybe I had bought bad tubers. But I found them and they were coming up. They just needed time. Good luck!
Keep them watered and give them time.
Sometimes mine take weeks to bud through the soil, but when they finally do. they grow fast! Takes a while for that soil to warm up the way they like it.
Be patient!

If you planted them in a pot , keep your pot in the sun so the soil can warm up. Keep the soil moist. If they are in the ground, you just have to wait until the earth warms up to the correct temperature for an elephant ear to sprout. Hopefully you didn't plant it to deep, if you do not see new growth in a month, dig around like Sarah did, you may have to replant closer to the surface and make sure the bulb is root end down.
Good Luck to ya!
This was a bulb I assume? Give it time and patience and it should soon sprout some greenery in about 1 to 2 weeks..good luck
