Trichocereus Pachanoi Seedling Over Winter

[Ishmael Fleishman]

Last Winter I planted Trichocereus Pachanoi seeds.

 

After a year of slow growth most are 3 cm long.

 

Over the last year they have grown indoors using takeaway tek then re-potted into a large terracotta pot and has been living outside.

 

I live in Victoria and it does get to 0ºc a few times over winter and it can sit at 6ºc to 12ºc for long periods.

 

Now with winter coming around - I am wondering if I should move them indoors? I have a sunny bedroom and am thinking of taking the Trichocereus Pachanoi inside.

 

Secondly should I mist or water these seedlings and how often over winter? Or should I just let them dry out.

I think the idea of putting them inside beside a window is that condensation from the glass will provide humidity during the night. Whether they need it during dormancy, I'm not sure. I don't water any of my cactus plants over winter.

Maybe try putting them in a big plastic tub and put it somewhere sheltered out of too much cold or full sun.  Let the pots dry up. The seedlings will go months without water in winter.
