Can potted ones be put into dormancy? would they survive it?
It depends on the size. They have to be big to be strong enough to go into dormancy. Even though they are supposed to be in suspended animation, the smaller plants seem to wither away no matter what you do. I could not suggest an absolute lower size. I would still not attempt to put any ensete under a (rootbound) 3 Gallon size in a dormant state.
