Jade Plant (Crassula) Cold Tolerance: 45–100°F Is Fine

A jade plant in an uninsulated Ohio bedroom at 50°F (10°C) is fine—jades tolerate 45–100°F (7–38°C). The risk is overwatering in cool conditions.

Winter Care in Cool Rooms

• Water only when very dry (skewer test).
• Cool temps = slow growth = minimal water use.
• Bright light still essential (south window).
• No fertilizer until spring.

Why It Works

Jades are succulents from South Africa; they handle cool, dry winters naturally. Wet + cold = rot. Dry + cold = dormant but alive.

Leave it be; just don't overwater.
