Default Re: dormancy in the pot?

I'm trying this for the first time this year with some three foot trunked ice cream, rajapuris, zebrinas, and bordelons. I didn't want to have to repot them in the spring when I don't have time. They are in one gallon pots--I've cut all the leaves off, not watered them and stored them right along with the others. The potting soil (promix hp) looks bone dry. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm keeping them in the heated garage, temps set on 40 degrees. It might get warmer than that in there, but not colder. If I get scared, I'll fish the worst looking ones out and restart them in the basement on a heat mat under the big MH grow light.
