I have mainly house plants, such as devil's ivy , peace lillies, a zephritis, angel wings, and creeping phlochs. I have put them outside on my deck and surrounded them in tarps with 2 heat lamps and a heater. I keep them watered regularly by checking their soil. Where I live , there has been some cold nights , down in the 20's at which time, I run the little heater only for those times. The heat lamps stay on 24/7. They are not exposed to high winter wind, the tarps shield them from those type of conditions. I have recently seen that they have wilted very severely, best description, the leaves and vines are paperlike. I do not know if they are dead or damaged.I need to know what to do to save them. Do I trim them back and let them start new if they can , or have I lost them.

House plants are meant for inside.  unless you have a green house you might need to bring them inside and if you do that you have to change the soil or you will bring bugs in.............they also need to be dipped in something from the lawn & garden store..after you repot them use a 5 gallon container with the correct liquid for bugs     put the container in the tub and dip one at a time...let them drain......  I would not trim them right now and it going to be trial & error if they survive.
