Can someone help me with my Jade 🥹 She started having brown crispy tips on the very top leaves, and now she has black spots on her top leaves. She’s in a south facing window, in espoma succulent and cactus soil, and I water her when she is completely dry and then some. I will say she gets a LOT of sun during the day, so I’m wondering if she’s getting too much light? Please help my jade 🥹 ![Bijlage 1 van 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/BEZghlM4c_bTbhfYfLLXwhORwVcGycSi1Ys8vP6Foqs/b266nQoHQ2SwZBlTMi9DbQ.webp?size=large) ![Bijlage 2 van 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/BEZghlM4c_bTbhfYfLLXwhORwVcGycSi1Ys8vP6Foqs/jyuK5Gf1QgaehPEy8CWx9w.webp?size=large) ![Bijlage 3 van 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/BEZghlM4c_bTbhfYfLLXwhORwVcGycSi1Ys8vP6Foqs/OyIFHSk-SPiY1y8vbLBR0Q.webp?size=large) ## 25 reacties ### eatyacarbs reageerde op 2024-09-17 did you move her here fr somewhere with less light recently? you really can’t give her too much light especially not through a window. i’d just give her time to adjust. it’s nearly impossible to kill a jade — they can bounce back from anything except overwatering i think this plant looks really healthy (maybe a bit thirsty) #### eatyacarbs antwoordde op 2024-09-17 based on the growth pattern (leaf spacing) it looks like she used to be somewhere darker, so this all looks normal. I have a few jades - old ones too - I can send pics if you want proof of my experience 😂 #### Sage antwoordde op 2024-09-17 Thank you SO much for your help!! I did in fact move her from a south facing window with tree blockage, to a south facing window with NO tree blockage. Do you know why she’s getting the black spots? I’ve read about etiolation, is that it? Also, should I move her to a more shady spot til she adjusts more? #### Sage antwoordde op 2024-09-17 I’d LOVE to see your jade plants - especially the old ones! #### eatyacarbs antwoordde op 2024-09-17 nope just leave her! she’ll adapt. i’m not worried about those spots at all. etiolation refers to plants stretching for the light. your plant was doing that, but you can see from how closely the new leaves are growing that she’s getting the light she wants now #### eatyacarbs antwoordde op 2024-09-17 this was a four leaf top cutting that i water propped from my first jade plant ![Bijlage 1 van 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/437cvweqbki9dm3WGwIgPKYbWJm3edDRYD1cwUaz2Sw/DSzveg4gRx6UfLprmvpyiQ.webp?size=large) _8 meer reacties in de app_ ### Tabi :) reageerde op 2024-09-17 Looks like somebody nibbled on this one 😂 ![Bijlage 1 van 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/VMU6lJV9KGDhsUpywc2VPxmMzLe-XmiihCIsW2U9bys/K94Np5EMQked78vf6mp-QA.webp?size=large) #### Sage antwoordde op 2024-09-17 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve been trying to figure out what’s going on there! #### Tabi :) antwoordde op 2024-09-17 Hahaha that’s so understandable , do you have cats ? #### Sage antwoordde op 2024-09-17 I do, but they don’t touch my plants at all! So I’m assuming it must’ve been some sort of bug that came in through the window… ### Plantpa reageerde op 2024-09-17 Fungal/bacterial infections and environmental stress cause black spots. Proper watering, air circulation, and humidity control are key #### Ji11 antwoordde op 2024-09-18 Agree, looks like a fungal infection ### #TazerLove'sPlant's reageerde op 2024-09-17 Ohh nooo ### #TazerLove'sPlant's reageerde op 2024-09-17 Did you figure it out #### Sage antwoordde op 2024-09-18 I think I did!! I suspect a mix of overwatering and moving it to a much more sunny window ☺️ ### Plant Father reageerde op 2024-09-18 your plant looks really good. i think the spots are most likely edema from watering inconsistencies. i water my jade plants only when the bottom leaves are soft, but before the plant looks truly dehydrated. it may be helpful to pay attention to the state of your leaves when it’s time to water, to see if you need to adjust the frequency. also, be sure to saturate the soil fully at each watering, this will help your plant grow a sturdy root system. #### Sage antwoordde op 2024-09-18 Thank you so much, this is very helpful!! I’ll make sure to have consistent watering by following your advice 🪴 --- _De Planta-community (https://getplanta.com). Iedereen kan meelezen.
