32 oF

The forecast was calling for 32 oF lows next week (which is I suppose is crazy here in San Diego, CA ). Thankfully, it looks like the forecast changed again today for more milder lows. For those who grow outdoors in southern California (or similar climates), I was curious at what point you evacuate your "cold" tolerant plants. Tolerance seems to be different even among different strains of the same species and I've been mostly learning as I go. While I would normally err on the side of caution, I have limited indoor growing space. I end up seeing what my orchids can handle.

I've been growing many of my dendrobiums (Aussie, nobile, and other species), Laelias (Mexican and Brazillian), and many Laeliocattleya hybrids outside into the low 40s here. They seem fine wet and cold... Can these take it down into the mid 30s?
