What to do with these root balls?
 
I want to overwinter these bad boys in the basement. Not in a pot. I think from what I've read and most pics I've seen the root ball should be a little clump. Can i cut back all of these roots to a little clump?

The corm on that small plant may not have enough energy to make it through a whole winter without some water and nutrition. I think you'd be better off to keep it planted and exposed to as much light as you can while cutting way back on the water.

I agree that plant is not big enough yet. Better repot it...
