I brought my silver potted elephant ear plants in at winter and on a windowsill in an unheated spare room.

Water only if surface is dry.

Leaves are going really droopy and floppy?
😲

What is happening? Overwatering? Move away from light? 🤔

Already lost one as think root rotted? 🥺

Got 2 left. Shall I re-pot with new compost?🤔

Please advise thank you 🙏

    My own Colocasia plants I leave bone dry during the winter months , leaving the tubers to overwinter frost-free in a dry environment .
    In late-spring I commence watering (in a greenhouse) and grow on as usual .
    The loss of leaves is perfectly normal unless you can provide tropical temperatures , but in the lower light levels of winter this can only lead to leaf etiolation (weak-growth due to poor light) .
    Best kept dormant for now !
