update pics first
you can see by the older pics that i potted them in rather wet soil
my thought was the root balls are bone dry so hopefully when they wick some water away the result is a good moisture level by the roots but i may have gone a little on the damp side
the maurelli liked it but they were growing without light and an all dried up root ball
the maurelli not in the pots but righted vertical again are being misted with water infrequently as i believe iowa did with his plants when waking them up
depending on the situation... if you have no room to wake them up and need to store dormant for a long winter season i would recommend ensete ventricosum maurelli...
as an aside
i would also like to try green dragan's method with this plant and basjoo
