Default Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter

Does this thread win the longest lasting thread contest?
Or maybe most useful.

I live in a ranch and don't think I will be able to maintain cold enough temps for the winter. I am going to cut mine all back to one leaf and pot them up in small pots and leave them in a big south facing bay window...
They will most likely get 0 water maybe once if needed.

I grew one DC last winter inside it put out 3 leafs, but ended up losing a couple inches come spring.

I just hope my thick plants will not rot, I figure my chances are better this way then bare rooted and dormant at maybe not so ideal temps..

I think the soil out of the bag might even have to much moisture in it.
Do I want the plant to root in or does it matter?

I think I remember someone talking about climate controlled storage facilities, do they get cold enough?..

Thoughts?
