Norfolk Island Pine

I live in the mountains of Virginia. 2100 feet elevation. Cold winters. My house is too small to keep the Norfolk Island Pine tree 5 feet tall in the house. we keep it on the porch during the summer.
Can I put the tree in my basement? lay it on its side? cover it with plastic wrap and water once a month?

I would only put it in the basement if there is a good supply of light. Otherwise, since these do not go dormant, I would say you could cut the top off. It will grow into a different shape, but it would solve your problem of it being too tall.
