Ok - I'm new to this forum so here is my story. I live in Las Vegas and i'm trying to get a tropical look to my backyard so I bought a couple of dwarf cavendish plants and planted them. This was a year ago

They grew really well (about 4 ft high). Not knowing any better I wrapped them in burlap just before winter. Needless to say they did not do so well. They turned brown and mushy. I dug up one and tossed it but the other sprang three pups and I let them grow!! I have three stalks about 4 - 5 feet high!!!

I don't want to do the same mistake this winter. Do I pot them separately or together in the garage? Or do I dig it up and leave it dry rooted in the garage?

Let me know thanks
