Wow, thank you for all the information Lynn! I'm so glad to hear yours pulled through! I'm sure with the same love and care it'll grow big again! As for mine, I didn't get all of the soil off when I repotted, because it was quite potbound and it was a spider web of roots! But hearing your story, I might take the risk of stressing my spider plant just one more time to check the roots more thoroughly and plant in new soil again! I did water a little bit more frequently as spring began, maybe I've been a bit too quick to do so... So you never know it might have rot somewhere too! Will definitely check it out hearing your story! Thanks again for your quick and thorough response!

It looks like over-watering (or a water-retentive medium) is at issue, which means that potting up was likely not the best choice. You didn't say whether or not you fertilized, so there's no way to know if a high level of dissolved solids (salts) in the soil is a potentiality. If you've had the plant in direct sun since you acquired it - it looks as though sunburn could be the issue ...... just not enough to go on, here. Some info from something I posted previously: While necrotic leaf tips or margins can occur in this plant from over/under-watering, in fact, it's much more common for the actual cause to be a high level of soluble salts in soils. It's also commonly reported that this plant is particularly intolerant or fluoride, but it's still more common for the cause of leaf burn to be a high level of solubles, to which fluoride can be a contributor, than it is to be fluoride itself. WHEN there is a high level of salts in the soil, low humidity can be a contributor, but low humidity alone rarely presents an issue, it must be in combination with a high level of soluble salts in the soil or either over/under-watering. Of course, you cannot correct the already burned tips (they won't 'heal'), but you can take steps to keep it from happening: A) Most important is to use a soil that drains very freely. This allows you to water copiously, flushing the accumulating salts from the soil each time you water. B) Fertilize frequently when the plant is growing well, but at low doses - perhaps 1/4 the recommended strength. This, in combination with the favorable watering habit described above, will keep soluble salts levels low, and keep levels from rising due to the accumulative effect we always see when we are forced to water in sips when plants are in water-retentive soils. C) When watering, using rainwater, snow melt, water from your dehumidifiers, or distilled water also eliminates the soluble salts in your tap water and will go a long way toward eliminating or minimizing leaf burn. D) If you make your own soils and use perlite, be sure the perlite is rinsed thoroughly, which removes most of the fluorides associated with it's use. E) Allowing water to rest overnight doesn't/won’t do anything in the way of helping reduce the amount of fluoride (the compounds are not volatile), and it only helps with chlorine in a very few cases, depending on what method of chlorination was used to treat your tap water; but nearly all municipalities are currently using chlorination compounds that are entirely nonvolatile, which means they won’t dissipate into the air.

how long ago did you get them ... what does your seller say ... are As ok in z9 .. someone will chime in ... were they greenhouse or shade house grown.. and in what zone in regard to sun intensity ... did you properly harden them off to your sun intensity .... sun tolerance is not relevant.. for a newly shipped in plant.. unless it was locally grown .... even a damaged leaf can process sunshine into energy ... i would stop cutting them off ... others will also answer if this is some sort of endemic A problem ...and if there is a chemical solution ... ken

Yes, from what I can see in attached photos, it is sunburn. It looks like a very young jade (stems are not hardened yet), and maybe even easier to get sunburned. It should be moved into strong sunlight gradually. Corey B You may consider adding lots of sifted/rinsed perlite or pumice to the C&S soil. Most ppl using it reports that it isn't as well draining as advertised, and add above-mentioned in approx. 1:1 ratio to make it better suitable for growing succulents.
