HI All

I live in Cornwall, UK, and have a beautiful Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii' in a pot. It is about 3.5 ft in pot, healthy, with a stem as thick as my bunched fist (aggressive analogy there – my apologies!).

My question is which will serve it best for overwintering, before planting it in a border next spring?
• In my bedroom window, south facing? I have heard this might be a problem as it will be weak and leggy?
• In my mother's coldish conservatory (double glazed).
• In the dark in my dad's garage (see how this 46 year old man is still so reliant on his parents to bail him out here!) left quietly 'til spring.
• Or any other advice, gratefully received.

Thanks in advance for your comments. More information will be provided on request and apologies if I have missed anything essential already. I am quietly becoming obsessed with these bananas – stunning plants.

Cheers
