Weird rash on the leafs of my Jade plant

9 years ago

Hello,

My Jade plant is growing fine this year, but it recently started to develop some kind of rash on its leafs, as can be seen in the picture.

Can anyone help me on identifying what it is and what I have to do with it?

Thank you in advance!

Did you move it into direct sun? It looks like it's sunburned.

Looks like it's trying to recover from a severe Sun burn, slowly introduce direct full Sun light.goodluck hunnie

Thank you for your replies Joe and Kittie!

I did move it into direct sunlight..

But if I understand correctly I can introduce it into the direct sunlight again? It's not as if Jade plants can't withstand direct sunlight at all?

I'll keep it out of direct sunlight until the sun burn has disappeared. :)

Sorry to say, the sunburn does not go away until the leaves drop or you remove them. When putting my jades out, I've always started by moving them out after work in spring into afternoon sun for an hour, and increased the time by a half hour each day, until they reach the amount of sun time they'll receive in their summer spot.

You can also start in the shade, then slowly move it into a spot that receives more sun, then more, and so on. This requires you to know the sun times of such a spot, so if you don't, or can't monitor throughout the day, you're best to follow the first method. All it takes is one "oops.....I forgot" incident and you have burnage.....been there done that.
