We have a Jade plant (well more of a Jade tree) in our sun room and in
the Northeast, the temps in this sun room are likely to fall to not far
from the outside temperatures if we don't heat the room.

My question is this, what are the temperature limits for this plant? it
seems that it's a member of the succulent family judging from the leaves
and trunk so I'd think it wouldn't tolerate temperatures close to
freezing. It's a heavy thing with the pot it lives in so I wanted to
get an idea of what it can tolerate before I wrestle it inside the house
for the winter.

Thanks in advance

(there are no milk snakes in the jade plant)


If you are talking about Crasula ovata, the plant I know as Jade
plant, they can tolerate temps to 32F for a few hours at least. they
grow outside here in So Cal and we get occasional frosts, but not
solid freezing.
