I'm in Napa, and the climate in the winter is mild, no snow, maybe 10 days total of below freezing all winter. But we do bring in the Christmas Cactus usually around Mid Nov through Feb. They seem to do OK inside, but outside they really do suffer. And the blooms in Winter are really wonderful, they seem to make my mother very happy.
