    You should clean it lightly. Take off any smaller roots, and keep mass intact until it is time to plant. It is not necessary to wash them but you can knock off any loose dirt. Here is a guide to wintering These: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/canna/storing-canna-bulbs.htm

    You can put them outside until the top of the plants start to die back naturally. After this, then you can cut them and winter them over.

    Canna bulbs and dahlias can indeed be grown in pots. See these articles for information:

    https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/dahlia/grow-dahlias-in-containers.htm

    To grow them together, just make sure the pot is large enough to accomodate the mature size of both plants, and they should do well.

    Can you include photos? This would help me. If it is getting cold in your area, then this is the natural response of the plant. If not, I would look into a fungal issue.

    I'm confused whether you are asking about calla lilies or canna. Both have to be dug up in the fall, dried for several days then stored in a cool, dry place. Here is a reference for you. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/canna/storing-canna-bulbs.htm and https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/calla-lily/calla-lily-winter-care.htm

    First, you should understand that any resulting plant may not look like the parent plant. That's just the genetics of hybrids and cultivars. Whether a sunny window is adequate depends on where you live. The closer to the equator, the better the light. If you are in the northern half of the US, supplemental light is recommended. Seeds need special pretreatment to get them to germinate. Read about how to do this here: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/canna/planting-canna-lily-seeds.htm

    Yes, cut away the brown leaves/stems. Canna has a big tuber that will have stored enough energy to send up a new plant. There are YouTube videos on how to divide Canna if you are interested. Now would be a perfect time.
