I'm looking for advice on overwintering Colocasia. I have Thai Giant and Mojito which were small starts this Spring. They were dug, potted up and heavily watered, then put in the cellar around 10/25. No water since and very little light. Temps are around 57-60F and most of the old foliage was removed.

All three plants are sending up new leaves. Should I continue to withhold all water? If I put them on the stairs leading to the outside door it's probably 10-15 degrees colder with no light. Better?
