Thughorse said:The coldest the plant was exposed to I would say was 40-45 degrees F. As the temperature plummeted I moved it to a warmer position, and then as the cold grew stronger yet I once again moved it to a place guaranteed to always be warmer than about 59 degrees F. It's current position also provides strong sunlight for 3.5 hours per day. The soil is very dry, i think the photos accurately document the current soil condition.


Hi I live in Gresham, Oregon Last year I tried leaving some cactus outside and it didn't work for me. The plant got stressed because of the cold and location being different. Segments got burn spots and drop off. Since you have a older plant it might come back with TLC! Try fertilizing with some nutrients (Compost tea liquid) instead of water! Good luck! Hurray! Hurray!
