Hi, LLB. I cut the top growth off and keep them in a frost- free place. I don,t water them at all. When I've got loads (it has been a good year for them), I just leave them in a polystyrene container with the roots barely covered. I think they do need some light so a basement probably wouldn't be much good.
As regards cuttings, try taking some now. It might be alittle but you should get away with it. Good luck
