Because I love zone 10 plants all my tropicals get consigned to a greenhouse in Fall. All my Gingers in pots get chopped down to just above the soil surface and placed in crates on their sides .. I can usually get 3 1 gallon pots to a crate. Heater goes on if the ambient temperature goes below 40 degrees. I let them dry out a bit and maybe water them every month. I don't let the soil go bone dry. Haven't lost a one. First picture is setting up the greenhouse and 2nd is all tucked in.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
