Actually I think it would be best if I potted it and took it inside for the winter. The Sikkimensis which I left outside the past winter did rot all the way down to the corm and it was bigger than the basjoo I have now. Although I've read somewhere that Sikkimensis are more prone to rot than the Basjoo but still and don't want to risk anything as this is the only specimen I've got. Also our winters might be milder than one in zone 5 or 6 but they are longer (about 5 months for a wrapped banana). So I'll just put it under a 36W fluorescent in a cool basement and focusing on next summer instead.
