Vachellia Tortillis Progress/Overwintering

[Marowak]

Hello, I have been growing my Vachellia tortillis for 3 months and change on my balcony with 30-35+ degrees celsius with barely any rain but watering every 2-3 days. Zone 7b Slovakia. We have very warm and dry summers but also quite cold winters that can go to -15 degrees celsius in some parts. I am wondering what to do for winter. Should I just plop them onto a shelf with light? And if so how long per day should the exposure be?

nice species - they look healthy
i am sure they won't survive in any freezing situation...
1 or 2 degrees above should be fine??

Should I put them inside in a non heated part that wont freeze or a part of The house with room temperature 22-25C and with a light?

I am growing vachelia caven and not sure these will make it through your winters. I bring mine indoors in October and put it under lights until about April when I bring them back outside.

Do you have any specific lights or just any led will do?
