If you’re talking about a short-term maximum drop without killing it- not sure. If you’re talking to keep it healthy; I have read for highlands (which they want some night-time drop), down to the mid 40s, however when it starts getting close to 50 degrees, or lower nighttime drops- I think about moving them to the garage. Not sure if this is necessary, but I’m too impatient to wait for a long recovery if they go into shock , so I may be over-cautious. Lowland’s I think you got to be much more careful about temp drops,.

Good luck
