It was 29 degree F last nite for us. And the tender and hardy succulents I have are in a U-shaped patio so that the house surrounds the plants on 3 sides. Here they are wrapped up as they usually are since nite temps started to drop into the low 40's. I use a product called N-sulate (white color cloth) and shade cloth that doubles in use for summer and winter . (When wet, these are easier to dry off than sheets since they are lighter and more porous).
Of course the disadvantage of using the coverings is the taking off and covering up every nite for the low temps but I think my plants are worth it.
The blue pot is the pot of Aeoniums that I was showing a couple of the thin-to-thick stem branches which started to bend severely. I peeked at them this morning and they seem to have gotten thru the drop in temp.
