Didnt know this but looked it up for you..
Yes, deep clay pots, equal parts loam,leaf mould & grit. Place in bright but indirect light. Water frequently when in growth using balanced liquid fertiliser monthly. Keep cool and moist in winter. It will need winter protection and should not be allowed to get frosted, so ideally cool greenhouse or conservatory. Despite being quite poisonous and skin irritating, it is vulnerable to slugs, snails and vine weevil.
Hope this helps.

I have arisaema sikokianum in the ground and it made it through a hard and long winter, where temperatures dropped to 16 degrees Fahrenheit, it is in the shade, flowers beautifully, lots of leaf mold and moisture, don't put it full sun, it scorches.
