My basement is 60ºF in the winter, small windows allow a little bit of sunlight. In March I will start some Elephant Ear tubers and then I will start running some lights. It will be near the Bananas in pots, so they will get a little more light then. If they are bone dry they will get a shot of water, the bare root plants won't get water until it's warm enough to move them to the garage. I am going to try and winter a couple Banana plants over in the garden. I haven't had any luck the last 2 years but I didn't really protect them well. This year I will protect them better and see what happens.
