I couldn't wait to get it home and show my 3-year old daughter, Jade. The day I bought it was the first time I had ever heard of one. Remind your readers to always do their own research. I bought this plant at a local farm and followed the instructions given to me, including the soil. I can't remember that happening since mid-summer, I'm fairly certain before repotting. Also, the edges of the leaves used to turn red in the sun. Should I repot now and get a mix in there? Is pot too big - 1 1/2' x 1 1/2'. What about sunburn? It gets lots of bright sun, but same as last 6 months. Please help! Is all this from overwatering, 1/2-1cup 2times/week? I made sure soil was dry but, based on what I have read so far, I know I am. I'd say about 1/3 of the leaves are affected at this point. Some have brown spots (bigger spots go thru leave - create "a hole" if removed), a few have long, thin brown scars (1/4" on 2" leaf) that can be scraped off (underlying leaf looks fine), some have raised black or clear "pimples" - this problem is increasing, and half the new growth is deformed with some getting black and crusty at the tips. It's been 3 weeks since I've seen a bug and the plant seems to be on a growth spurt but leave spots are getting worse. Over the next 2 1/2weeks, I wiped off bugs as I found them and sprayed leaves down one more time. I put a towel over the soil during spraying. I wiped them off with water and a soft toothbrush, then sprayed leaves with a mild dishsoap solution. I used only soil, not a mix, but it was still healthy and growing -fast! About a month ago, growth slowed, leaves looked a little droopy and I noticed several spots. It became top heavy and I had to repot in early Aug (I live in RI). I've had my Jade plant (almost 2' h x 1 1/2'w) about a year and it's just about doubled in size. If it is stem rot, you'll want to remove those stems as soon as possible to prevent it from spreading to the other healthy stems. When you say rotting, do you mean that the base is turning a black color? Also, is the base squishy and not firm anymore? If so, your Jade Plant may have stem or root rot, typically caused by over watering. Almost like something is nibbling at one side? Any suggestions. My jade plant seems to be rotting near the base of a few of the larger sprouts.
