What is up with my jade 😱 It’s been very healthy, but there’s a chunk that has these shriveled, blackened leaves and a powdery coating.

Oh I did learn that it’s fungus (mold?!). So I isolated and cut those sections off. Any other treatments you would suggest??

It’s powdery mildew I bought a specific spray treatment for powdery mildew on Amazon and after a few weeks it went away

### plantmother commented on 2026-07-01

agreed powdery mildew!

A greenhouse owner suggested Bonide Rose Shield for powdery mildew on succulents. I spray some on the leaves directly as well as a bunch into the soil. It's worked great

Recommend cutting off all infected leaves prior to spraying. Then praying. Maybe RIP.
