Help! This is my jade plant (Stanley) and he is my pride and joy but recently he’s been getting these brown patches- are they just from direct sunlight/ damage/ or something even worse!!

How long has Stanley been in the same pot?
0개 좋아요About 3 months so far
0개 좋아요How often do you fertilise? And also water? And had the temperature by chance increased where you live in the last 3 months?
0개 좋아요It’s got very hot in the last 2/3 weeks- I water as the app recommends, about every 2 weeks

And when you water, is it a drenching watering? Water should be exiting the drain hole and entire pot should be moist. The pot will feel heavy with all the water it has soaked in. Sometimes if the soil is dry for an extended time, it will repel water. Then easiest is a long extended bottom watering until top is moist.

0개 좋아요Yeah he’s not been moved since heatwave hit :/
