Hi

I am in Atlanta, I have both a dwarf banana and a Musa Sumatrana "Rojo" that I cut all leaves but the emerging ones back in November and put them in my non freezing basement.
The emerging leaves are still green on the dwarf and purple on the "Rojo". I of course haven't watered them at all since they went downstairs.
What is the best way to wake them up when the time comes end of march?
Water a little, a lot?
Keep in shade at first or full sun?
Restart indoors then move outdoors?
When to judge they can go in the ground?
They are both potted but will go inground for the spring/summer/fall .

Thanks a lot

Patrick
