Species Pepperomia cannot be left out side. Jade can takecole temp down into the lower 20tys. it would nice if you told us where you live, and what are your lowes according to the weather reports. Norma

Leave that Jade out in the sun all year...it will love you for it! Mine has survived 28 with no ill effects. The soil must be dry though during cold weather. If it hasn't been in the sun, you're gonna have to acclimate it.

How low do your temps go in the winter, John? I'm in pennsylvania, where we always dip into the teens and lower, sometimes for several days. I can't imagine they could take that.

Here in Minnesota it at least gets to the -20s in the winter - definitely too cold for jade plants. I take mine inside when we start getting regular hard freezes (usually October). It goes out again when I don't expect nights to go below 30 (late April-May). A downfall of this: jades, and a number of other succulents, lose their sun tolerance if inside for the winter. Just like some body with fair skin, they need to be gradually worked up to sun again in the spring.
