I have three of them but they are all still small, so I just keep them in the greenhouse. I haven't tried to store them dormant or anything like that. I just keep them in a minimum of 55 degrees, and water them only sparingly. They have pulled through that way for two years now. My largest one is only 2 feet tall now, though. I'm not sure what I'll do when they get bigger, but they sure are awesome plants.
