This is a tropical Banana so suggests it will need a high level of heat to keep it happy. What temperature are you intending to keep it at overwinter?

I struggled with Siam Ruby as it could not hack temps below 10C, or the lack of light in December.

I've got one of these in the living room window in a 9cm pot.
Hoping to get it through the winter, just produced a new leaf so all going well
Will post a pic when I find out how
