Yes I held off on water during the winter. But My epies are all out side in the epi house which was wrapped in plastic. Normally that would have been enough but this last winter was really bad. We usually only have 2-4 freezes the whole winter and they usually only last a few hours. This winter it dropped down to freezing almost every week and some times twice a week and stayed down there.

There was freeze damage all the way down to the lower part of the state.

I am getting great growth and only a couple of the newer cuttings where hurt. I will try to remember not to buy cuttings late in the season.

I did have a Easter Cactus bloom-do want to get more of them. LOL

Sandy the epi nut.
