Colocasias are very heavy feeders, so if your plant isn't growing enough, you either need more heat or more nitrogen. Although suitable for soggy conditions, the cold-hardiness of colocasia is increased in soil that is not soggy during the winter. Where they remain in the ground over winter, they will be quite late to re-emerge in late spring or early summer, unless they are covered with 3-6 of mulch in early fall. |
