hi folks i have a couple of plants that don't seem to be fairing to well
with the current weather and i need some help

aloe vera plant - a friend has some aloe vera and pulled some out of her pot
for me and i replanted then in new soil (specific for succulents) but with
the weather changes the outter leaves are looking 'jelly like' and turning
soft yellowish. i've no idea what i'm doing wrong. should i keep it indoors
instead of leaving it outside?

If it's turning jelly like, it's been hit by way too cold air. You can bring it
back indoors, remove the dead tissue and see if you can get more to grow from
the roots. Do NOT over water it.


hibiscus - bought it from homedepot. has been flowring wonderfully but now
the leaves are turning yellow. it's real heavy to move around so it's
outside. does this need to be brought in for the austin 'winter'

If the foliage was dark green and shiny, it will not survive winter here. If
the foliage was a matt green, much lighter in color, it is hardy.

pride of barbados - bought it at home depot as well, didn't really flower
all that much but now the leaves are all falling off. does this have to be
kept indoors as well?
