For Orinocos, I know at least one leaf has been able to make it through the winter still green, and stay green for a couple of months after planting back out in the spring. The lower leaves will surely die, but it may be possible to keep 2 or 3 leaves green. I was going to try it this winter, but an early frost cancelled my plans.
