Default Re: dormancy in the pot?

I have over-wintered Musella lasiocarpa and Musa acuminata 'Rojo' in pots. The lasios were in 1 gallon pots ( 2 years old and very rootbound) and the Rojo was in a 10 or 12 inch pot.

The lasios were on the floor away from the weak light of the north-ish window and the Rojo was by the window. Both types were kept very dry with the lasios hardly getting any water at all.

The room was a finished basement so the temp was a little below the normal winter temps.

All of them survived beautifully.
