I acquired a plant a couple of months ago which may or may not be an orchid cactus - if it is it was certainly neglected severely I think; however it is certainly wierd and wonderful and since I hung it in my east back porch window it has had one flower and another coming. But I notice that the porch temp went down to about 10 C last night (we had a slight frost in the part of the city where I live) and I am wondering if that is getting too cold for the plant and if I should bring it into the house.?
(I dont have a pic of the flower - just got a digital camera last week)
Thanks for your advice.

Is it getting too cold?
Bring it in... they won't withstand frost.
What about those of us in Illinois? When should WE bring them in?
It'll be a while before frost but what about when it gets into the 40's?
I bring mine inside when nights get to the low 40's.
It is not outside - but in an enclosed porch facing east so it is quite warm during the day. It wont drop down to freezing in the porch for quite a while yet.

I bring my epi's in the low 40's. I don't take a chance on them freezing. That is a nice plant. It will be interesting to see what the flower looks like,
