I have 4 types of banana: pink velutina, Truly Tiny, Double Mahoi, and FL Lady Finger. All of these are nicely leafed out, but some will have to survive my zone 6b winter indoors under LED lights, or in cool storage.

Has anyone had experience with cool storage of these? I'll keep the pups under lights, but how do I store the larger plants? If I let them dry out, and I keep them at 50°F through the winter, will they survive til May1?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks!
