Default Keeping Purple (or black) Calocasia (?) over....

I mentioned before that we have several huge elephantear like Calocasia pond
plants. I may be remembering the name on the pot wrong. They're a deep
purple, almost black color and resemble Caladium's. The problem is they're
so huge now I have nowhere to keep them over for the winter as the sunroom
is now out-of-room. :-( How are you folks keeping them over? Do you dry
them off like regular Caladium's? So far I've kept them over in pails of
water because of all their fine water-roots but their increasing size is
making this impossible now. Any suggestions that really work?

Thanks....
