I was advised to “behead” my jade plant due to stretching. I let the cutting callous over for a few days then replanted it in its own pot. The sticks are there to help it stand up until it starts rooting on its own. It is a good size cutting and very top heavy. It is under a grow light but it has always been so it’s nothing new. As you will notice some of the bottom leaves have developed brown spots on the ends and have kinda flattened-they have lost their plumpness. Is this sunburn? I don’t know what else it can be. Someone suggested putting this in a smaller pot which I’m going to do but would a pot that’s too large cause these brown spots?
