Sorry if this has been asked before.

I have about 20 plants in medium pots. I also have other succulents, so moving them all indoors is not a small task. Indoors they will not get any direct sunlight a little reflected. I live in zone 9B or 10. It will get in the low 50's here by December, and last frost around March 14.

We are likely to be 50 1 day and then 80 for 3 days. How should I handle it. Bring um in before low 50's and leave them alone until around March when they can be brought back outside. Move them in and out. Leave them out until low 40's?

Any guidelines would be appreciated.

Desert plants, in native habitat, are subjected to well below freezing temperatures most years - but desert plants in pots changes things

An adenium caudex can act like a water pipe if subjected to freezing temperatures, as water freezes and
expands ......

50°F is a "safe" temperature ...a few hours (or less) between 45° & 50° wont do much harm - Assuming the plant has not been watered and potting media is dry

But steady temperatures around 45°, will stunt next year's growth - Branch tips may be damaged, however the plant will survive

Prolonged temperatures from 35° to 40° may cause serious damage to the caudex .....

Freezing temperatures will kill the plant

One year I set my adeniums out too early - at the time I had over 100 of them .... forecasters predicted temperatures were to fall into the low to mid 30's for at least 2 nights

Instead of moving them all back inside - I pitched my 4-person tent ....laid out a few garbage bags on floor of tent ... then ran an extension cord from the house into the tent and plugged in a clamp-on light fixture with 60 watt bulb ..... then loaded the tent with adeniums .... as the sun went down I threw the switch ...

Next day it was as if nothing ever happened
