Is it dry or bumpy? Does it come off if you wipe it or do you have to scrape it.

#### Nick replied on 2025-01-15

It’s bumpy and dry and I tried to wipe it and it won’t come off. Also I recently replanted it so I don’t want to scrape it

Looks like a jade succulent they deposit salt from the pores in there leaves it should rub of with your finger if that’s what it is

Okkk thank you!!!

#### Nick replied on 2025-01-15

I tried to wipe it and it wouldn’t come off. It feels stuck/embedded onto it.

#### Jillian Champ replied on 2025-01-15

Hum… I don’t know I wouldn’t worry too much and just keep an eye on it to see if anything bad happens

### Nick commented on 2025-01-15

### Nick commented on 2025-01-15

Here I’ll send another pick idk if I’ll be good tho its night

### Tyler commented on 2025-01-15

Crassula, especially the jade and its many cultivars, like to deposit minerals on their leaves. You wouldn’t happen to be using tap water would you?

…. Yes😅
