Aleska, They won't die during the winter, they will continue to be nourished by the "mother" plant. Just yeaterday I saw a hardcane species, Den kingianum, with multiple keikis, many of which were in spike, and not a root on any of them. I should point out it is spring here (Australia) now and these keikis all made it through our winter without any problem. Just leave them all as they are and they'll be fine.

Happy Growing!
