How to care for Colocasia (Taro) plants in winter

[@liamvnbw]

For anyone who didn’t know, Taro is a common food in some countries, which means you can usually find them in asian grocery stores. I have had tremendous success with Taro tubers like that, and it’s cheap too!

Also, they are extremely common. So… to reiterate, yes, try to grow what is so common. But, later. Grow to your desires!!!😂

Yep, much better than the 20€ ones in tiny pots you may get 10 supermarket taro for less than 2€

Just done exactly this with my C. Redemption after watching. Thanks for this, the roots were sodden.

I purchased two and thank you for this video! It’s such a beautiful plant and I want to make sure I care for her properly.

Thank you so much for your video, I've just bought Colocasia Jacks Giant plug plant, as I'm getting into the tropical theme at my allotment. I think I'll follow your winter care.

Love the videos Craig!! Thankyou so much for what you do! Out of curiosity, what °s are you keeping the greenhouse at? I’ve got colocasia black sapphire gecko, pharaohs mask, and polar green in pots. All growing well in water. But need to think about bringing them in soon. Could I just lift the pots out the water and let them dry out before bringing them in? I have quite a few polar green growing, about 14 in 1 pot. Should I be splitting those also and repotting in dry perlite/soil? I have a little outhouse with a 60w grow bulb in and an oil heater keeping it between 16°-20°s. Could I leave them in water if I’m storing them in there?

Thanks for that Craig l give it a go.

Thank you for sharing how to plant

[@GrowParadise]

No problem! Thanks for watching 👍

We have the Colocasia Polat Green now.

[@wesleyhackney]

Here in NW Florida for colocasias I have in pots I just cut off the tops if we get a frost, leave them in on soil and bring 1:33 them in to sit in garage until March then I bring them back out in the full sun to jump start them. If I had prolonged cold weather like you I think you have a good method. For caladium bulbs I actually take them out of the pots and clean them up and dry out and then store in saw dust till March then pot up again seems to work better than leaving in the pot like colocasias

[@GrowParadise]

Great tips, thanks for sharing your experience 🪴👍

[@Orangelionfur]

Slowly bringing in my Colocasia. As this is my first year growing them I chose to keep them all inside in pots except for Pink China. I can be less cautious when I have propagated spare plants.

[@GrowParadise]

That’s very true, always propagate backup plants when possible. Thanks for watching 😀

Hey Craig, not being funny but there's someone behind you....👻😀
