Question Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter

You just made me wonder if anyone's tried using the method I do with plumeria? Just bring it in for the fall when temps dip too low and leave it dry in a pot full of soil. I usually water lightly once a month or maybe not, it goes dormant and I "wake it up" by watering a month or so ahead of time while it's indoors. The plumeria flowers every year and seemingly suffers no ill effects. I may sacrifice one to try this way.
