As I mentioned in another post, I have a baby musa glauca (or is that Ensete glaucum?) which is about 35 cm tall. I've heard that these are difficult to overwinter in colder regions (in particular Europe) despite it's (marketing?) name of snow banana.

Has anyone had success in overwintering it inside in an area that drops below freezing occasionally and low light levels? I've already brought it indoors, but it doesn't look too happy right now.

Any suggestions?
