the garage is heated set to 42 degrees, I leave the door open sometimes and it does drop quickly. No water at all until early spring.

What temp outside do you usually start digging them up at? I figured a week or so in the shade in pots would get them acclimated to the garage environment.

I dig them up before first freeze, from my experience they dont seem to mind the frosty nights. I'll post some pictures when I dig them up, some how I have a couple different types in the ground and those praying hands wont make it thru the winter up here.
