I don't see why a ventricosum would be any harder than a maurelii. Actually since they have green leaves, they should be able to take lower light conditions better. I've overwintered ventricosum in the greenhouse before with no problems, just like maurelii. So I'd say do to it what you did to the other one and you should be ok.
