I've heard Amorphophallus paeoniifolius called "elephant yam" or "elephant foot yam". This is a close up photo of the stem on mine. As long as you can prevent the freezing cold getting to the tuber it should be okay. And no watering either. When the leaf had dried off them you can store the tuber in the normal way.The longer the plant has the leaf the better the plant will be the following year. Leaves taken off earlier can result in a smaller tuber and smaller plant.
