Same here. When I bring in my Agave, they are usually strong enough to survive okay, but suffer some leaf damage. The softer Mangave suffer the most. Those I have to water more and keep a little more light on them. The amount of light is just enough to keep them alive. Nothing compared to direct sun itself. They go dormant due to colder temps and lack of water. My basement part is unfinished with a dirt floor so the humidity is very high and with a little watering would cause rot. It is best for me that way due to being too lazy to do all that watering. This part of our cellar is never below 30 degrees so it's not for any Agave but the ones I have been wintering over seems to do okay for me. I put some of my Aloes there also and they seem to survive better.
