if it needs to go dormant for the winter put it in the dark and don't water it all winter Ensete are horribly susceptible to rot when in this state the corm has sufficient reserves for the winter if its that big yes cut off all the leafs do not lay it on its side there is a good thread out there i cant remember the title by a German guy that tried laying his on its side because it was to tall for his basement and the thing grow side ways the next spring it killed its self trying to grow out make sure were you store it on the cool side say around 50 deg
