Re: Freezing
Most Echinopsis hybrids will be happy with frost, even heavy all-day frost, if dry.
For most cacti, the temperature tolerance is better the drier the plant is.
I keep many Echinopsis / Lobivia / Trichocereus etc in an unheated cold frame, so they get severe all-day frosts a few times a year.
