I grow my kingianum var alba in my greenhouse but it goes colder than this at times (though not all winter). Heater comes on at 41F and vents open at 57F. It get's warmer than 57F of course when it's warm outside, but that's when the vents open to try and keep it no warmer than outside.
This winter it only got down to 41F a couple of times. Last winter it got down there for a couple of weeks in a row (when it was snowing outside) and was down there most other winter nights, even if a tad warmer in the day. It even got down to 39F on a couple of nights when the heater was struggling.
The kingianum was fine that cool, didn't bother about the low temps at all.
