# Anybody know what’s going on? I’ve got some kind of almost burning on…

Anybody know what’s going on? I’ve got some kind of almost burning on the leaves of my jade plants and unsure what’s happening. They’ve been thriving and healthy in these spots for months.

They do look burnt. I’m unsure where you live, so this might not apply, but my guess would be that possibly due to where they’re placed in relation to any shadow-causing things, the amount of sun exposure may have changed as the earth’s position relative to the sun changed, so maybe they’re getting more sun than they previously were.

I’m in a 9A zone in Houston! I’m thinking I might have to move them under some shade

this will be it! they got scorched. they can handle \*extreme\* sun but not when there’s humidity to match

the good news is that jade will recover from anything (with the exception of overwatering)

Is it possible they’ve gotten rained on? I know succulent leaves can burn if they are wet then put in bright or outdoor sun. Possibility 2 is if you water right on top of them and the soil and don’t dry the leaves off after.

This is also possible with rain, this all helps so much!

#### Adrian replied on 2024-08-27

If it can get rained on, or it’s rained recently and they weren’t covered or brought in, that’s probably what did it. I’d recommend moving it somewhere with cover or indoors with a south window. Good luck!
