 == Moving potted plants into shelter for dormancy ==
-Potted plants can be moved into a sheltered area to protect them when outdoor temperatures will be cold enough to damage or kill them. A proper overwinter shelter should remain in the 35-55℉ range, which will allow the cacti to remain dormant, will not require lighting, and the plants should remain dry. Some ventilation and considering humidity levels is still a good idea to prevent pest, fungal, or other issues. Common places to use as overwintering shelters include a garage, shed, basement, greenhouse, or enclosed porch. If the temporary shelter space will not have adequate grow lighting, wait to move plants into shelter until after they have gone dormant, if possible. This will prevent [[:cultivation:diseases:otherissues:etiolation|etiolation]]. If the space is subject to temperature swings outside of the acceptable range, monitoring the temperature with a wifi thermometer or hygrometer is a good idea, and having a heating method on hand to keep the space above freezing temperatures but below 55℉ may be required.
