I was there last year and saw some SDC in concrete planters on a porch on Riverside drive in Riverside, IL. They looked very nice. I would never have noticed them before, if it weren't for this site...
Bringing them in is the only way to keep them alive. Keep the basement around 50-55 degrees, and they shouldn't grow too much, you should need little, if any, water, and they will look cool in your basement tiki room.
If your basement is heated, you'll need alot more light, and water, or the plants will stretch for the little bit of light and get spindly. If you have an enclosed crawlspace, it may be warm enough there, without triggering growth, to overwinter them in.
Good luck!
