My pond is heated and enclosed in a lean-to so the new taro plants stay in
the pond. The ones that jumped the pond last year were close enough to the
cover, part in, part out, that they would send leaves up outside the cover
and then the cold would burn them back. Happened several times over the
winter.

I don't know how well they would keep in the house in water, but I would
think that they would do alright near a window or sliding glass door, where
they could get plenty of light.

The "Black Magic Taro" sounds like what you have. For my taro, which
grows
to be about 200 to 300 pounds over the summer and then again over the
winter, (heated pond) I remove one of the plants that grows from the
side
as
a runner and start it over.

* I lost another Taro (a green one) that way when it didn't survive the
winter indoors. Do you dry off the one you keep or keep it in water?

The rest of the plant makes a one way trip to
the compost pile.

* I would rather keep a few over if possible....

It has jumped the pot and survives in the soil right at
the cover and now completely obscures one side of my pond. I have a
major
job this fall to remove much of it, or I won't be able to get the cover
on.
