| Hello, I love this variegated jade I have had for some time. It has brown spots, unlike any I have seen. It doesn't seem to be scale. Some go through the leaf. Can anyone help me with what this is and how to get rid of it. Thank you |

| Maybe I'm totally off here, but are you 100 percent sure that's not an Adromischus rather than a Jade? If my suspicion's right, that's the plant's speckled pattern. Definitely doesn't look like a disease to me; it looks like the plant, and it doesn't strike me as a Jade. |

| Variegated jades are striped so I would bet my money on a adromischus rupicola. But I think jackieg2 is talking about the brown spots in the middle of the picture. I have seen that on some of my jades and don't necessarily associate that with diseases. Could it be sun burn? Any more pictures of where these spots go through the leaf? |

| Ooooh, Robin, you're right. I'm sorry. Totally missed those spots. |

| (woops. Why did this submit twice.) |

| It has been suggested that it may be Oedema. Below what I found on web: Oedema Treating Oedema Several strategies can be employed to reduce the effects of oedema. Succulents should not be watered too frequently, and the soil should be allowed to thoroughly dry out before watering the plant again. Planting the jade in a pot that drains well will lessen the likelihood that the plant will suffer from oedema, and so will making sure that the plant has enough sun to aid in drying out the soil. Remember, it is never a bad idea to remove leaves that are obviously dying; this ensures that the plant does not needlessly divert nutrients in an effort to save dying leaves.

| Thank you all for your responses. I am new to the forum and am so happy to have fellow succulent/cacti lovers to talk to. Adromischus it is indeed. I had just assumed it was in the jade family. Here is another photo that shows the spot that goes almost through the leaf. Again, thank you for any suggestions you may have. |
