First year plants from Gurneys are likely to be too small to overwinter dormant in my opinion. This is my first time trying a few dormant but , they are pretty large Orinoco's. Definitely go with overwintering indoors and check for spider mites which seem to be the major indoor/ winter pest. Insecticidal soap and higher humidity does the trick. Keep them as bright , warm and humid as you can and they should do well. Good luck.
