# Hello, all! I have a Jade plant I gave a haircut to a while back. All…

_Posted by Sylar on 2026-01-25_

Hello, all!  
I have a Jade plant I gave a haircut to a while back. All the new growth is fine but my older leaves are looking like this. I haven’t sprayed it with anything for the leaves to burn, so I’m not sure what’s causing these spots. Any ideas and suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help!

Hmmmmm I’m quite unsure cause I haven’t had this before. But could it be fungal? Like powdery mildew perhaps? If you have a neem oil potion on hand you could try giving it a good spray and see how these do?

I had a beautiful jade with this condition. Did a lot of research but could not come up with a definitive cause. But research pointed towards being bacterial. I had tried several treatments beforehand including fungal but couldn’t get rid of it. Ended up trimming the plant way back. No leaves left. Did that just over a year ago. I was concerned if bacterial it may still be in the plant but looking good so far. This is the plant today.

Well she’s gorgeous today! Man, I hope I don’t have to trim that far. I wonder if isopropyl alcohol would help mine then. It came out of nowhere

I tried treating mine for a few months. Plus the leaves are scarred and will not heal.
