    HELLO! I am having some worrysome issues with my elephant ear plant. My sister warned me that my elephant ears were sick and that when she went to slice off some of my plant and transplant it to her yard the stem was like mush. When I looked at my plant it still seemed healthy, the leaves were a nice dark green and the stems were their normal light green. I didn't see any evidence of a fungus or the plant being sick however I haven't had the time to try transplanting some of the plant myself but it looks healthy. Any advice? Does that sound like some kind of fungus or parasite? I was thinking that something maybe attacking the plants roots but I wasn't sure. Any help would be appreciated!
