Default Re: Need advice on Dwarf Cavendish

If you can't provide the ideal Light Level and Temperature through winter, you are better off letting it go dormant. As long as the stem stays firm and doesn't rot or freeze you will be good to go for an early spring start.
I would just bring it in and cut back on water. If the leaves start looking too shabby cut them all off excecpt for if there is one unfurled coming out of the trunk. This complete stalk/potted root system will be ready to shoot out new growth as soon as spring temps arrive.
