Overwintering Colocasia indoors ?

Fleetwood's picture

I have a one year old "Thai Giant" colocasia in a pot that I want to overwinter in a cool basement indoors. I plan to cut the leaves off and bring it inside after the first freeze (tonight). I thought I would let it almost dry out in the pot and then take it back outside in the spring. I am in zone 6a.

I have never done this before and would welcome anyones ideas.

Thanks
