If you just bring them in and stop watering them (keep barely moist/dry) they will store just fine.
That's interesting, Mike.. I didn't know that. But if you bring them indoors to make them go dormant, don't you have to put them in a cool,dark room and cut off all of the leaves?. Can you just put it in regularly lit room with a window or something and leave the plant alone. I advocate grow-lights because I've had alot of success with them last year. I grew my coconut palms & orange trees in a room with Grow lights and kept a humidifier in there with temps in the 80's and they thought they were outdoors - so I just figured that bananas would do the same. I use like (10) 150-watt grow spots and my light levels are about 5-10K/candlefoot power in there.
