Thanks Stimpy, I too had to cut mine down to the roots last year but I kept them inside and all was well apart from the the usual spider-mite (aka the Borg!) infestation.

I've read that some people here dig them up, knock all the soil from the roots and store them under the house. Aparrantly they go into stasis for the winter and will re-grow in the spring. I'm just not sure what temps they need.

Can anyone else help out please?
