I keep my Taro over in a large bucket of water. I lift the plant from the
pond before the 1st frost, bring it in and set it in the bucket (in it's
pot) by a sunny window. It's "lived over" for 4 winters now. I give it a
little fertilizer about once a month. When I tried treating them like
cannas or caladiums they died. It keeps a few leaves all winter. When the
outdoor weather settles in Spring I put it back out.

I had thought I had read that to overwinter my taro that I should treat it
just like a Canna bulb. Well I took it out of its basket and rinsed it
off
to find no bulb but a lot of roots.... what do I do now? Replant it and
treat it as a house plant? The frost has already killed off the upper
leaves and I have what is still healthy and alive floating in my patio
water
garden that I pulled inside. DK
