Depending on which plants you are growing, Dormancy means low light,
cooler temperatures and dryer then normal conditions. Basements,
garages and cool greenhouse work well for some people. I use a cool
greenhouse for mine. I keep the temperature above freezing, approx
35-40 degrees, but sometimes the temperature will drop below freezing
for short spells without no noticeable effects. I have all my plants
sitting on the ground out of water and about one a month( depending on
how dry the plant container gets) I mist the plants just to keep the
soil moist, otherwise I let nature do the rest. It would also be wise
to inspect your plants about once a week or so just to ensure
everything is doing fine and there is no noticeable problems with
disease, mice, people etc.
