Hi all! Can someone help me with my Jade š„¹ She started having brown crispy tips on the very top leaves, and now she has black spots on her top leaves. Sheās 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 Iām wondering if sheās getting too much light? Please help my jade š„¹
did you move her here fr somewhere with less light recently? you really canāt give her too much light especially not through a window. iād just give her time to adjust. itās nearly impossible to kill a jade ā they can bounce back from anything except overwatering i think this plant looks really healthy (maybe a bit thirsty)
0 Mi piace 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 š
0 Mi piaceThank 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 sheās getting the black spots? Iāve read about etiolation, is that it? Also, should I move her to a more shady spot til she adjusts more?
0 Mi piaceIād LOVE to see your jade plants - especially the old ones!
0 Mi piace nope just leave her! sheāll adapt. iām 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 sheās getting the light she wants now

Looks like somebody nibbled on this one š
š¤£š¤£š¤£ Iāve been trying to figure out whatās going on there!
0 Mi piace Hahaha thatās so understandable , do you have cats ?
0 Mi piaceI do, but they donāt touch my plants at all! So Iām assuming it mustāve been some sort of bug that came in through the windowā¦
0 Mi piaceFungal/bacterial infections and environmental stress cause black spots. Proper watering, air circulation, and humidity control are key

0 Mi piace Did you figure it out
0 Mi piaceI think I did!! I suspect a mix of overwatering and moving it to a much more sunny window āŗļø

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 itās 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.
