 o
cacti in pots

Posted by adp_abq 7b (My Page) on

I have 2 cacti in pots. One is a prickly pear and the other is a hedgehog(claret cup). They are cold hardy for my area, but I am thinking that this is assuming they are planted in the ground. Since I have them in pots, should I bring them inside for the winter or can I leave them out?

Thanks

RE: cacti in pots

Adp-

I have prickly pears and several types of hedgehogs in pots which I leave outdoors year round. I keep them in a sunny location, but other than that, I don’t provide any winter protection. I probably won’t water mine until next spring, so they’ll shrivel up a little bit, but that will help them endure the cold. Good luck.
