Help with my Jade plant please! A lot of Pictures!
Comments (1)The brown patches on the leaves are sunburn, I know from experience, as in my eagerness to put my plants outside my window on a rare warm sunny New Hampshire day, I left them in the sun for several hours, and a few days later saw the brown patches from being put out in the sun suddenly, without gradual exposure. And your soil is way too water retentive, leads to root rot... I would leave the cuttings out until I see roots start to form, don't need to be in soil for that. And I would repot the plant with roots into a fast draining mix in a smaller clay pot, and not water for at least a week...best of luck! Christopher...See MoreCorn Plant dying fast!! Please help!!
Comments (14)It's not a real corn plant. The type of corn we eat on cobs comes from a plant which is known scientifically as Zea mays. The plant that is used as a houseplant is a tropical plant that has the scientific name Dracaena fragrans. I think Dracaena picked up the nickname "corn plant" because its leaves resemble the leaves on a real corn plant. This is why many people prefer to use scientific names. It is less confusing since there will never be two plants with the same scientific name....See MoreHELP MY JADE PLANT IS DYING !
Comments (0)My jade plant has just started to develop these brown/black spots since I moved it inside for winter. Why is it doing this? Am I overwatering? Or too much sunlight now?...See MorePlease can you help? My jades are dying... see pics
Comments (31)Sorry to disagree with Pat: I also think putting both pots in front of the window is a shock. I would have left them between the windows where you had them to begin with. That corner was too dark for jades. They like lots of light and will grow much better in front of the window. Unless they were in very dark conditions for a while and are moved suddenly into very sunny spot (I do not believe that is possible in winter, in Michigan), there should be no problem. Moving plants into strong sunlight from indoors could cause sunburn, and plants should be acclimatized. I believe Steven meant moving the plants from place to place - like from a store, where it sat for a while, to a house...Some plants will respond by dropping many leaves when location is changed (ficus Benjamina is known for doing that). Personally, I do not have that experience with jades. And I move them around a lot....See Morerina_Ontario,Canada 5a
