Need some advice on what to do with Cannas, taro and umbrella palms over the
Winter.


When it comes to taro & umbrella palm, I'd still bring them in by a window.
Supposedly taro's roots can be dried, but I've never tried that.

I let frost knock my cannas back, then store in their baskets in the garage
(which doesn't get below 40F). You can knock the dirt off them and store
dry. If doing later store in peat moss, as peat moss has an anti-fungal
quality about it. ~ jan
