It's a strong looking plant! I found many plants were able to take frosts to -5C (23F) for short periods if under cover when they are not supposed to tolerate frost. Even those outside in sheltered places did well this winter, it was a strangely hot summer, mild autumn and winter. I even have a banana in the ground shooting!

My Alocasias are pushing up too, in the greenhouse, it has been warmer than usual. It's spring and they want to grow!
