Yeah from keeping it germinating in a fridge (correct me here I’m going off memory) to distilled water it seemed nuts but good to know they take rainwater as well!
How do you keep track of all those plants? You should post that collection here sometime!
“Fridge dormancy” is the term for doing that. Basically giving them a period of lower light (some is still necessary, so a glass door minifridge with backlight is what I use) and lower temps is what they need. In higher growing zones they can just stay outside during the winter since they tolerate snow well.
I use an app called planta to keep track of them, but honestly when I buy a plant I get used to it and research it a bit if needed. Once you get used to the main species they are similar in care needs. I’ll certainly post my collection soon!
