Cold weather care advice

Looking for advice on how to best care for these plants during cold weather. I've lost the ID tags for these but I suppose both are succulents. I remember the large potted plant (growing to ~ 3' x 3') is an African plant but don't remember the name. Is it recommended to bring these plants indoors during winter? Maybe once the night temps start holding in the 50s?


Thanks,


Kevin

    The top plant looks like Portulacaria afra and the other one is a type of Echeveria, i think Echeveria agavoidies. I'm in the UK and so use the plant profiles from the RHS which gives recommended low temperatures of 50F for the Portulcaria and about 35-40F for the Echeveria. Over winter its usually best to store the plants somewhere that stays frost free but isn't too hot from central heating and so somewhere like a conservatory or enclosed porch is normally best. Hope that helps :)

    Brilliant! I'm seeing reference to the Portulacaria afra as an elephant bush and now I do remember that name being on the plant's tag. I greatly appreciate the help!

    The bottom succulent looks to be a Graptosedum. They can go to around 30F.
