All my discos,melos and uebelmannias are with me in a spare room in our apartment, also a few euphorbias:The rest stays in the greenhouse that´s heated at about +4C.I´ve heard that some other species shouldn´t get temperatures below 8-10C,but since they are all bone dry during winter i haven´t notic...
