I would recommend planting them in pots and burying the pots in your garden bed since it's in a sheltered spot. You should be able to just cover them with straw just like the other plants. I wouldn't cut the foliage back unless it looks like it could possibly have diseases.

Hi all, thanks for all the advice; I went out today in an attempt to make a cozy new home for my poor ailing jade. I bought I believe a 3'' circumference unglazed clay pot with a drainage hole and a dish, a bag of perlite, and a bag of orchard bark. They didn't have any kind of mix, except the cactus soil that I've been using. Should I just mix the perlite and the bark, or does it need anything else? I've heard undyed aquarium rocks were good too... Doug, thanks for the info; it's currently outside and gets some direct light right now. It was inside on a ledge next to a window getting very indirect sun all winter; I moved it out when the leaves started drooping for no apparent reason thinking that maybe it needed more sun.

I use 48" shop lights from one of the big box stores. I have some metro shelving, with fixtures above each shelf. You need as much light as possible on most plants to keep them going indoors. You need to maximize the amount of plant surface that's exposed to light. You don't say what kind of plants you have - large, like a schifflera, or smaller like violets or small orchids? A lot of plants need to have the light no more than a few inches above them.

In the second pic you've got a very nice clump of sanseveria (snake plant) it prefers low to medium light and likes to dry quite a bit between waterings and the other plants in that pot are Kalanchoe thyrsiflora (maybe flapjack) it also likes to dry between waterings but would prefer to be in direct sun for most of the day so I would recommend separating them from the snake, they'll get big if they have more room and sun, also use a very fast draining potting soil like a cactus or succulent mix. The third pic looks like a very sad and shriveled jade plant (Crassula 'Gollum') he also likes to dry between waterings but it looks like that might have been taken a bit too far. I would put him in bright, mostly indirect light, and water well but not until the soil dries (there is a tendency to overcompensate by over watering a plant that has been stressed by drought so watch out for that) a lot or even most of those leaves may fall off but keep the faith, if you keep at it it will come back, it's a pretty cool plant, I have one just like it. In the fourth pic you have a very Haworthia that has some crispy leaves on the bottom, in my experience, this often happens when the bottom leaves are in contact with the wet soil for too long, they get kinda rotty and then they dry up. I would pull or cut them off and make sure the leaves are not touching the soil, if they are, you might want to put a layer of gravel over the top of the soil to create a barrier between the moist soil and the leaves. These are all succulents and they all like to dry between waterings, they also like sun but, aside from the kalanchoe, not hot, intense sun all day, a half day would probably be good except for the sans which doesn't need any direct sun but will tolerate some early morning or late afternoon sun. Good luck, you've got a nice collection of plants with some great potential.
