It is really depending on the soil. I got some of mine rotten even in summer at 100 F heat with a minimum watering due clay soil. I found that soil have to be very fluffy, it can be made either from coconuts or contain a lot of broken pumice stones or similar in order to be sure that no excess water is left in the pot. I had last winter huge problem with over-watering under no stop rains, all pots staid outside and survived, due to the coconuts soil (plate on the bottom of the pot should be removed as well).
