Taccas have beautiful foliage and one of the most interesting flower ever seen. However, they can be picky sometimes regarding their environmental conditions. When they like the conditions, they grow, flower a lot, and even produce babies. When something is not right, they slowly decline and eventually die. Unfortunately, sometimes the only way to know if you can provide them the right conditions is by trying.
Large plants seem to do better than smaller ones. They like shade, and good air circulation. They don't like too much heat and air that is too dry.
We found that they don't like to be rootbound. It may not be a bad idea to repot it every year in the spring. When you reach a 10" pot or larger you can wash the soil, cut most of the roots off and remove most of the leaves. Remove the babies and repot in the same size pot with fresh soil.

The soil is one of the most important things for success with Taccas. The mixture needs to be light, very porous, something that drains well.
Use something like:
60% Canadian peat moss
30% perlite or arlite
10% vermiculite
The soil should be a little bit acid, so use something like a "Miracid" occasionally as a fertilizer.

I read that Taccas can go dormant, but it has never happened to us here in Florida.
Our temperatures dip into the low 30°s sometimes during the winter, but it goes back to the 70°s in a couple of hours. Our Taccas are outside and seem not to mind that.
Actually I lost a few plants that I moved inside our greenhouse a few years ago, I believe because of poor air circulation. The ones outside survived.

Taccas are easier to grow outdoor where there is some air circulation. They don't grow well for everybody indoors, but I guess that if you are growing orchids inside than you might do okay with the Taccas inside too
An environment that's good for Phalaenopsis should work for Taccas as well.
Don't keep the Taccas too wet, but never let them dry out totally. 
Fertilize with Dynamite, Osmocote, or with Miracle Grow if you wish.
Try to avoid placing the pots in direct contact with the ground for now. There are many soil born diseases that can attack a plant. Place the pots on shelves or even on top of a concrete block.
