KAMasud said:Excuse me but has any one ever tried to take the tubers out of the soil, air dry and preserve them until spring? At least for me it is less painful.

Now there's a question I can relate to. This year C. e. 'Mojito made tubers large enough to over-winter dry, likely because I started them indoors a few months early. I typically have a 5 month outdoor growing season for Colocasia. I'm wondering if most of the C. esculenta cultivars will make a large enough tuber if given enough time.
