This does pretty well for me as a houseplant in the winter. You do have to
watch for spider mites though.
My house is very low light, and I've had times when X. saggit dies back to
1-2 leaves but it always perks up again once it gets outside.
Hope this helps a little,

A 4 ft Xanthosoma saggitiflorum won't be happy outside in my upcoming zone 4
winter. Will this plant die back to its tuber (or bulb)? I dup it up and
have
it in a pot indoors.
Should I just treat it like a houseplant until spring arrives again? What
temperature and conditions would it like indoors?
Thanks,
