Bob:
I keep my Elephant ears in a cooler environment. I place them in
plastic bags and put them in the attic where it gets to 45 F during the
coldest winter months. I haven't seen any aphid problems on them at
all. The Arum under lights in the basement are a completely different
story. I have to spray with soap or some other low toxic spray almost
everyday to control them.
I have used Murphy's Oil soap its cheap and practically the same thing
as the more expensive "horticultural" soaps on the market. One ounce to
a quart of water is the mix I use.
