Elephant ears are notoriously resilient! It should come back so long as you keep caring for it.
DANDELIONBOMB
Yes.
Im sorry you’re in this sort of situation. What he did was not ok

I’ve come to learn that elephant ears are very strong plants and will always come back. I’m sorry about your dad though… I hope you’re ok, OP!

I’m sorry this happened. No wonder children go no contact with parents as they age when it’s a toxic environment they create
queeninadream
Yeah! It’ll take a bit but they’re very resilient. I’m so sorry you went through something like this. Imma send my cat Skeletor to pee on his car seat for you. 🫶🏽💓

His behaviour was abusive.

Are you old enough to move out? Do you have anywhere else to stay? This is abusive behavior.

I had a bunch in my back yard and we had a 3 day freeze in Miami. All those types of plants wilted like lettuce in the freezer. They all came back.

The plant will be fine but are you okay?

Remove the remainder of the stalks by peeling them as they dry and shrivel. Be careful not to overwater as mold can develop between the base of the stalks. Eventually a growth point will be visible and it will start to regrow in a few months.

Your dad is a dick. Hope you’re okay & that your plant will come back even more beautiful

Sorry this happened Ik it’s annoying and strain something similar happened to me with a Xbox in my past, hopefully it’ll pop another leaf out it definitely can survive

It should grow back but might need to wait until it’s heading into summer before you see movement.
If you’re lucky, because of the shock it might even sprout babies out of the soil next to it

Since elephant ears grow from a corm it is definitely going to survive but what your dad did isnt acceptable behavior. I hope you are able to distance yourself from him. People who harm objects around them are one step away from harming you.
