Good luck Dan. I'll be interested to see how things work out for you. I am going into my second year growing nanas. I have two D.Orinocos that I'm going to be experimenting with from last year. We cut about 3 feet off the top of them and dug them up last fall. I've had a bedroom transformed into a plant room where they've been living this winter. I'm going to leave them in their pots when I take them back outside this summer in case I get a bloom. All the pups I'm just planting in the ground. I had ornamental bananas on my laterita and I dug it up and brought inside to see if they would continue to ripen and they didn't.
I have a dilema though as my daughter had a little green anole lizard she didn't want and I let the little guy loose in there and he's been living happily in the bananas with a little aquarium buffet of crickets he goes in and out of to eat. I guess I'm going to have to leave a couple nanas inside all summer
