well, i don't have garage nor any of your mentioned places[b said:Quote[/b] (Not a Number @ Dec. 12 2006,8:36)]Provided they had adequate time to go dormant they should be able to tolerate brief periods of temps below -7C, perhaps a week or so. If you have an unheated garage, basement or attic window you may want to move them there. Another possibility is covering the plants in mulch, like old pine needles or straw/hay and then with a tarp or cloth. The fridge if that's the only option left.
We're talking average minimum temp when I say -7C so just because it dips to -8C one need not panic.

old pine needles neither. will crumpled old newspaper work the same way like mulch from needles?
I suppose if you have a paper shredder (the strip kind not cross-cut) fluffed up shredded newspaper would work fine. The idea is to create lots of tiny air spaces to act as insulation.[b said:Quote[/b] (KateKatinaite @ Dec. 12 2006,10:08)]old pine needles neither. will crumpled old newspaper work the same way like mulch from needles?

Just say you need to use it for your kitty litter; they'll understand...

I wish I could quantify the variables that go into dormancy, like saying that photoperiod would be 60% and temperature represents maybe 30%, while less water and a nonexistant food source being the rest.... but I can't. These plants respond to a variety of stimuli that work together. I would say, though, that photoperiod predominates over temps because while temps ebb and flow, photoperiod heads in one direction, then the other. Most of us have experienced the phenomenon of crocus popping up in December or January, due to a good thaw. And then when the temps freeze again, the plants adjust and they resume growth later on in the season.[b said:Quote[/b] (vraev @ Dec. 13 2006,8:31)]hey guys......a bit on topic .....I had my VFT's put into the fridge at the beginning of october. is it ok if I can take them out in january that is 3 months right
