should be able to but if it does absorb moisture it may start to break down over winter.

What's the option - bring it in the house? It might last longer that way but I leave stuff like that in the garage over the winter.

Yes it should be OK.
Be sure to put it in a plastic bag to keep moisture out.
Store mine in the shed and it goes to 40 below.

A plastic bag....sealed tight will keep air out.....which depletes the nitrogen somewhat.

Now, in facing Winter and cold weather is imminent and keeping all of Cactus, more than ten cactus, it must be a quite challenge for me keeping all of cactus whether indoor or inside the shed. The weather of next week starts dipping into mid-sixty, even though today is in mid-eighty. Any inputs of keeping those adorable and delightful cactus in good health and thrive would be really appreciated.Read More
