I have no experience with bare root wintering of my own, but I know, that you cannot
let the plants get into direct contact with the concrete floor, or they will rot. Place some
plastic over the concrete and cardboard sheeting on top of it, before you store the
bananas on top of that.
Just a thought: Where do you propose to clean the dirt off the roots? In the freezing
cold outside or in the living room? Your wife will like the latter even less than a
banana plantation there.
