Sorry to hear that guest.
I can't help you, but as I've just sown some seeds I'd like to keep an eye on this thread.
I believe from what I've heard that you've done well to get it to flowering stage. If it has flowered, the plant apparently goes dormant.

A mildly useful link here (it's a pdf page, so go down to page 2 for Tacca)

Good luck!

You could just repot it :) with some "dryer soil" and just give it a feed ...
