Best Answer

Within reason. A cactus will not survive a blizzard or hurricane, but a cactus will grow naturally in areas where there is little rainfall. To protect them from freezes, people will cover them up with tarps.

Clarification:

Some species of cacti can survive in extreme cold, especially some species of opuntia - prickly Pears and chollas.

Can a cactus survive in cold weather?

Yes there is several prickly pears and some others that are hardy well below freezing, as long as they are well drained and dont stay moist for too long they should be fine. the cold and snow arent what is gonna kill it but the moist soil will make it rot. Planting them in a raised bed with a soil mix designed for cacti should help and they will do fine
