Winter hardening should be done in rooms with temperatures between 8 to 12-15 degrees. Move them into cacti, without watering them at all.

However, such preohladen cactus should not be moved at a very cold place, but not room and is warm. Sukulentite cacti and say, had a warm winter in many cases not readily bloom next year or no flower stalks siphoned ugly when insufficient light and moisture.

However, if the plant has evolved greatly during the summer or naddalo in height, give him a mild winter conditions - ie slightly warm or even room - one of irrigations during the winter. In general, the temperature conditions in winter should be such that cactus do not lose water, ie not dry. If this still occur, it is necessary to wash the plant. Wait then as a complete drying of the soil by maintaining zakalitelniya regime.
