Jade plant outside in winter

location is menifee, ca. I lost 2 jade plants in pots last winter due to frost. I could move the pots into the garage, but then they wouldn’t get enough sun. It gets down to high 30’s at night. Is there any cover i can cover them with? don’t know what to do.
thank you,
Betty

Jade plants are quite intolerant to frost, so high 30s would be okay temporarily, but anything below 32 would damage your plant. If you keep track of when frosts are predicted, you could bring your plant indoors just for those nights or weeks when it will be cold. You could also try covering them with a bucket or the suggestions in this article, but that might not protect them as fully as being brought indoors:
