Answer
Reyes,

I put mine in pots and put them in front of a southfacing window in an unheated room, a cool garage would be fine too. Or a cold cellar with flourescent lights. The idea is to keep them cool but above freezing, water them lightly once every 3 weeks and give them plenty of  light.
They may get some brown leaves but in the spring set them back outdoors and water them normally and they will spring back to life. The more sun they get the greener they will stay but keep them cool and the next thing to dry so they go through a dormant rest period with no growth. Good luck.
