Subject: winter temps

Hi all,
I have a question --
I'm worrying my CPs getting too cold this winter. I'm hoping to keep them
outside in my greenhouse. I read that CPs such are dionaea, sarracenia,
and temperate drosera prefer winter temps of 35-40 degreese farenheit.
When it's winter here, it is around that temp in the day, but what about
at night? It gets in the 20's at night. Is 20 degreese farenheit too cold
for these plants to stand? Or is there anything you can do (such as, I
read you can cover your VFTs with pine needles to extra warmth) to make
them warmer?
Of course, it's still summer, but I'm already worrying about winter...
