Jade plants can survive in winter but they can't get too cold. Generally in winter, Jade plants will enter a dormant period and they will be active again in summer or spring.
They also tolerate low temperatures below 40 degrees F but if they continue, they will begin to collapse. This dormancy period is needed by plants so that they stay healthy and continue to grow.

Signs of the Jade plant entering the dormant period can be seen from its slow development, thinner leaves, and rough texture. Make sure you adjust their care in this period of dormancy, by reducing watering and only doing it when the soil is completely dry. Place them in a cool, dry area because high temperatures can cause plants to use stored energy reserves faster.

When dormant, it is normal for the Jade plant to have a thin appearance and fallen leaves. However, if the dormancy period has passed, and the Jade plant still has signs of dormancy, then you need to pay attention to them as this is a sign of trouble.
Note if the leaves wither and the stems are thin and brittle, indicating the Jade plant is not getting enough water or is exposed to cold temperatures.
You need to move it to a warm place. If the leaves are yellow or brown, it can be root rot due to excessive watering.
