Hen And Chicks Winter Care

Please help. I have these Hen and chicks from my grandmother in law. She passed away this summer and left me these because I just loved them. She’s had them for years. These are her 2 year old babies who have chicks sprouting like crazy. My grandmother in law lived in Arkansas, we live in Montana. This is the same pot she had them in and same soil. The bottom leaves are turning a pinkish brown and shriveling.They are in full sun most of the day if not all of it. I water maybe every 2-3 weeks. So could they be underwatered? Also come winter… What do I do??? It was – 50 for two weeks last winter, surely they wouldn’t survive that.. Also I want to split up the chicks, how do I cut them and what soil do I use? Thanks so so much. These mean so much to me and I can’t lose them.

You are probably overwatering the hens and chicks. Rainwater should be sufficient unless you go weeks without rain. The article below tells about hen and chick care, soil, etc. When winter comes, I would move them inside or to a garage that stays above 20 degrees F just to be on the safe side. They can take colder weather, but since yours are in a pot, they are more vulnerable.
