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?
Thanks,
Tom in Howell, NJ
After they die back from first frost dig up the taro and cannas if they
are in soil and wrap in newspaper and store till Spring...Umbrella plant
may need to be kept in soil and kept moist inside a garage or basement
(not really sure)but the ones I see in Texas that are planted in the
ground die back in winter then come back
