I just found some on my plants as well ### PlantPerson commented on 2023-12-05 I have not personally owned a jade plant before but I have had similar white things on my plant before. From the picture it kinda looks like mealy bugs maybe. Personally to get rid of them I diluted some vinegar and sprayed the plant with it. #### Madelynn replied on 2023-12-05 Thank you :) ### Iwetmyplants🌱 commented on 2023-12-05 They aren hard to get rid of you, you should be fine #### Madelynn replied on 2023-12-05 Wonderful- thank you! --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
