RE: Wintering colacasia

I am facing the same problem. I checked the web and found several articles.
They suggested storing them in peat moss in a cool dry place. I believe they
suggested about 50 degrees. So far I have lost most bulbs that I tried to
store. I have two large Black Magic in the garden. I have decided to mulch
one heavily and try to store the other. Three other varieties are in pots.
They were a gift from a friend just last week. I rather wished she had kept
them till spring. She winters hers in a green house.

I have a couple of colacasia that are growing in large concrete pots.
How do I put them away for the winter. I do not feel I have enough light
indoors to keep them going. I have tried Calla lily and Canna with no
luck-they dried out. No cool dry places in my house, which is probably
the reason.

What to do?
