I have some more cacti and succulents and I want to know if they could tolerate zone 5b conditions. I took some photos.

Can any take frost?

Most of the cactus you have would not live in a Zone 5b, the would only take a mild frost 😥

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

We had a temp before of -1C. The one that did it was my Mammillaria and its the small ball cactus with the red thorns.

That succulent I have is it a aloe or a agave?

Looks like it may be agave americana?
