You have a nice plant there. Unfortunately this is not Hummel's Sunset, only Crassula Ovata Variegata or sometimes referred to as tricolor. It is beautiful and acts in the same way as other jade do. I would encourage you to repot now. Keep in mind that after you repot do not water for about a week or so. See to it that you wash the root ball to get the other soil out completely. You need not worry about the plant. It does appear that the growing medium is staying very moist, this could be a problem for the roots. As far as the spots on the leaf, it might just be from water that was present and the sun dried the spots only to leave what you now see. A sunburn of sorts for the leaf. As long as you acclimate the plants to sun gradually, you "might" not see this anymore. Hope this helped.
Cheers

I hate to tell you this but it is not a Hummel's Sunset, it is a beautiful Verigated Jade.
Yes, do repot it in the soil that is recomended by this group. If you don't know what that is, just type in Crassula or Jade in the search and start reading. It comes up often. I really like to use terra cotta pots, not plastic. Yes, you can trim a jade anytime. I don't know what the brown spots are but just pick off those leaves.
It really is a great looking plant.

I would say the brown spots are a result of the too-wet soil it's in, but the other two posters are right on.

There's lots of information here about this plant - search for 'Crassula ovata' or 'jade'. There's lodes of information about soil, but what you need is to have a much more porous mix. As the other posters have stated, I believe what you have is known as Crassula ovata f. (form) or v. (variety) variegata.

They grow better in terra-cotta, IMO. With a few steps and a few months your plant can be looking in the pink of health soon.

Hey, thanks for everyones input! I thought it looked like a HS... I'm not sure I know the difference between HS and a Tri-Color. Anyone want to enlighten me :)

After digging into this one... I found out that this was grown originially in a much smaller container and became root bound in it. When they moved it to a bigger container they didn't do anything except add in more dirt! so all the roots were still in the same block shape they had been! Sigh!

Anyways, thanks again for the responses, I'll keep everyone updated :)

Hummel's Sunset is a cultivar of c.ovata. It has in the upper leaves red, yellow, and green. This is a very beautiful cultivar and popular on this forum. I can get one for you if you are looking. Please e-mail me and let me know if you are interested. Would love to help you out.
Cheers

FYI, these are cuttings of course.

Hi Newnie, you have a beautiful variegated Jade, congrats on your new plant.

Here's a couple of pictures of my Hummel sunset taken a few months ago for comparison. I'm sure if you are like most of us...the hunt is on to get one. You can never have enough Jades :o) Good luck on your beautiful Jade.

I just bought crassula HS from jadepoint.com and I'm very pleased. It looks better (more colorful in person) than what was pictured on their website for anyone who is interested in purchasing one. Shipping is very fast. It was hard to find a vendor for this plant. I knew I had to have one atfer seeing it pictured is Debra baldwin's latest book on "succulent container garden"

Haworthia,
"jadepoint.com" is rather loose with their plant-names.

I noticed that their "Gollum [Dwarf]" looks more like a "Hobbit."

And their "Hummel's Sunsets" are variegated; and their "Argentea" is a "Hummel's"....

Caveat emptor

Well thank you very much for the response Josh...but I think you have me even more confused now!
To me on the pictures on the jadepoint.com it looks like

the crassula aregentea 'white/green var' looks a lot like the tricolor jade picture I posted - is that what you think it is?

the crassula argentea 'sunset' you say is the hummel's sunset

and the one they have listed as a crassula 'hummel's sunset' is just a variegated jade with no special name?

Thanks!
Britt

Haworthia, mind posting a picture of your new Hummel Sunset that your got from them? I'm sure others would love to see a picture of it also. How big was the pot it came in and how tall was the jade? Thanks!

Pug!! Everything you grow always looks great! What colors on yours..I think you need to add one with all yellow leaves into your collection...:-)

Mike..:-)
