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

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.

=====================
Yes they will, but I no longer have the ROOM for them in my sun-room.
They're very large plants now. That's the problem and why I'm asking how
others are keeping them alive over the winter in colder climates. I'm in
zone 6 and can't afford to make covers and heat the ponds. I wanted to know
if they can be dried off or how others keep them over.
