Black Spots on Jade Plant

Post by emmazing459 »

Hi,

I bought this jade plant a couple of weeks ago and today I noticed some black spots on it. I tried to get them off with water but they don't come off. I am wondering if it is from sunburn or bugs or is it normal? Any ideas or how to help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I would not guess sunburn, because jade plant leaf tips turn red in the sun, and yours are still green

I have no idea if it's bugs. You could spritz the affected leaves with rubbing alcohol; this kills bugs and won't hurt the plant
