Hey All. I'm traveling soon and will be away for 3-4 months. Most of my cacti are outside. When is the best time to bring inside as winter may get very cold with snow. Also, what's the best way to water while away?

depending on the size and species of plants you have, it may be a good idea to water and bring them in right before you leave and then water them again when you return. most cacti can handle long periods of drought

Thank you so much for the info.

Agreed! Just leave them since it’s the cold months and they’ll go dormant. Put them somewhere bright but dry!

Awesome!!! I'll do that.

Use a water bottle full of ice and put it in the pot! If it's a succulent it will have enough water.
