45 degrees is bare minimum, but I avoid anything less then 55. Try being up here in Wisconsin....it was 32 when I got up this morning, and never hit 50. It feels like warm weather will never arrive!

Oh, well... I guess it'll be another week or two of having this full house.

I'll keep my fingers crossed (for the both of us) that it warms up soon!

I leave all my Jades outside as long as the temps doesn't call for a frost. I place them close to the wall of my house on the south side so that helps keep it just a tad warmer. I think they will be fine as long as there's no frost or the temps are above 34 degrees...but the soil must be DRY as wet soils and cold temps don't mix! But, if you're worried and don't want to take a chance leave them inside a little longer...better safe than sorry.

Mine have been out and it got down to 31 last night, 32 tonight. If they're close to the house or under a porch, they'll be fine as long as it's just for a few hours. I've even got a few other succulents out - as long as it warms up during the day, they seem to do fine. As Pug said, keep them dry when it gets cold overnight.

Thanks for all of the advice. I think since it's both cold and rainy, I'll keep everyone inside for now.

A word of caution....I once left one of my big boys when the temps hit the low to mid 30's, and the frost killed it. All the leaves shrivled away and it never came back to life.
