Colocasia question

From: "Carolyn J. Miller" cmiller at meijergardens.org> on 2001.07.26 at 22:09:10(7138) Greetings, Out of curiosity, can Colocasia esculenta fontanesii be grown in water? I know its a taro, but I wanted to make sure before I decide to submerge some plants in a fountain. Also, if I submerge these (they're small and would keep them in a pot), what type of soil mix should I use in the pots? Thank you for all anwers!
