Unfortunately, I cannot speak from experience, but I assume that they will be ok. 20c = 68F...so at their coldest temp (when you found it turned off), it was only equivalent to a slightly cool night temperature. So maybe they will be ok.

More importantly than the low temperature, I would like someone to give you advice on how to get them safely back up to temperature......fast or slow??
