Hi Miguel,
These plants can withstand temperatures down to freezing during
the winter, and even a bit lower for brief periods. I'd recommend
keeping seedlings a bit warmer. To help cut down on fungus, make
sure there's lots of ventilation (if you've got them in a terrarium)
and keep the soil just moist ie: not standing in water. With
any luck, they'll survive and next spring you can put them outdoors.
