I watered them once or twice a week, usually on thursdays

Yeah, they’re *dead* dead. Looks like it was from cold shock. Toss em and try anew with new plants
Looks like it was a type of jade plant
Definitely cold damage. Do you open the window where you were keeping them?
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today…….

Pilea sometimes is a water whore (mine needs water like every 5 days but it also has a good light) but the other didn’t need to be watered that much. Typically only water a plant when it needs it, not on a schedule unless you know there’s a consistent pattern of need. Any plant that doesn’t get a lot of light needs even less water. Light helps a plant process the water. Ceiling light is not light unless you have plant bulbs and they’re close enough. There are heating pads for plants but maybe a pet heating pad would be cheaper. I’d recommend a small greenhouse set up instead so they’re better insulated and get a light like a sansi you can clip on. Those lights are very strong so don’t put them too close. I’d say like 20cm away is good. Adjust as needed. I killed my sundew putting it too close to the light 😅
Eh, Pilea is a hard one. Get a snake plant. Easy – water it one a month and leave it alone.
Rip rip but now you can be a second time plant owner. Dont let their deaths be in vain, get more once the grieving period is over!
There are “tropic” plants that can even take frost. There’s a Swedish plant shop which sells some of them so even if you don’t buy from them , you can see options and get inspiration.
I don’t think you know what “lowkey” means
Jade plant and pilea money plant i think.
They look overwatered and maybe cold shock. In colder climates and winter plants need longer in-between watering especially succulents. They’re definitely dead my condolences but looking after plants is a journey where we all learn from mistakes. I know I’ve killed off a few of my plants along the way and succulents are by far my least favourite plants as im an anxious plant parent haha.
Uh yea they got frozen…
At first you kill a plant, try try try and kill a lot more, and eventually you will keep some alive.
Way too much water and the cold killed it.
These things are fucking DEAD! No saving
Last time plant owner
