Default Winter storage solution

Hello all...

First time posting here, but follower for sometime. My wife and I decided to plant a couple Musa Basjoos this year and had some pretty good success with them.

They grew quite quickly from a small sprig to over 6' tall and overwhelmed the less than strategic placement. More thought for next years location definitely.

We decided to dig them up to store inside for the winter here in KC which is zone 6. This happened a couple weeks ago just after a cold night that wilted all the leaves.

The problem is we put them in the basement which is less than ideal for dormancy. Garage is heated as well.

After being out of the ground for 2 weeks now, they are still trying to push out leafs.

What do we need to do? Totally lost. Thanks in advance. mike
