_Posted by Kari on 2024-03-07_

Noticed black dots in my new jade, is it a fungi or pest problem??😭

Important factors:  
-I got it 2x days ago  
-definitely overwatered it by accident  
-no fertilizer used yet  
-no other plants around it

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I also did not repot it btw

### Plant Father commented on 2024-03-07

the black spots are most likely edema from watering too soon

I agree. You should repot it if the soil is still wet

### DanishGramma commented on 2024-03-08

Totally normal

I have 3 jades and they all have it and white dots too

Mine have white dots too

When I got my gollum jade it had brown dots don’t seem like they spreading so it’s not very unusual! None of my plants have had pests except some fungus gnats but they never got into the soul
