Even though cacti originate from desert regions, there are some varieties that can survive our winters. We present ten cold hardy cacti. Cacti are particularly popular as ornamental plants: undemanding and robust, the plants are usually perfect even for beginners and still provide decorative eye-catchers in the house.<\/p>\n
But all too often, the beautiful exotics are kept exclusively in the apartment, because few gardeners know that cacti can also be planted wonderfully in the garden. In fact, there are many species of cacti that can stand outside all year round even in our latitudes, and even endure snow and bitter cold.<\/p>\n
Thus, American gardeners can also enjoy the decorative plants in the garden and make their beds an interesting eye-catcher with the help of cacti. Which species are best suited for this and how they are best cared for in winter, we reveal here.<\/p>\n
That cacti do not survive the winter in the bed is a fairy tale that persists. In fact, it only depends on the selection of the right species – especially cacti<\/a> native to mountainous regions are also adapted to freezing cold and can survive in our latitudes without any problems. Nevertheless, care should be taken to ensure permeable, dry soil, and, if necessary, rain protection.<\/p>\n
