Need some advice on what to do with Cannas, taro and umbrella palms over
the Winter. Last year I brought them inside and put them near windows or
under track lighting in my indoor pond. When I put them back outside they
flourished to say the least. I have about 8 blooming cannas, 7 umbrella
palms some of which are 4-5 feet tall and two very sturdy pots of taro.
Some of these should probably be split again. Problem is I don't have
enough windows to house all these plants and keep them healthy over the NJ
Winter. They certainly can't stay outside and I don't know what else to do
with them.

Any suggestions from this crowd?

============================
You can call your local Pond Club and offer them for free. You can sell
them to a pond/aquarium store for as much as $10 teach. You can compost
them. You can put up index cards on store bulletin boards. You can put
them out by the road with a FREE PLANTS sign......
