This is what I do with my elephant ears with great success. Anyone have success with this method?

Some of the forum members do that annually with their plants. Seems to reliably work for them. They store the plant barefoot inside in a breathable type bag in a horizontal or vertical position
A few even tuck the barefoot plants in the crawl space under their homes.
Check out this thread some posts have goof photos.
Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
