I think the spots are just mineral deposits on the pores of the leaves. Nothing to worry about. I have them, too -

Perfect! Thanks so much!

Your jade plant is so lovely! I love the red on the tips of the leaves!

Mine too, they really stand out on this one...

Thank you, everyone!

When you pot up any plant, especially a small one or a cutting like yours, try to get it a little higher up in the pot, it will give it even more light and will also make it look better for you! Give it the sunniest spot if it's indoors during the cooler months. Also, the pot is slightly in the large size given the size of the cutting and the fact that it will have a very small rootball and the more 'empty' mix you have be greater the chance of rot. Whether you decide to re-pot into a smaller one is up to you though, but bear in mind that if your coming temps will be cool (not checked your location yet), be very sparing with the water as cold and wet = rot. Hope this helps, it should do well for you i'm sure.

Thanks for the advice! I will definitely think about repotting it into a smaller pot to help it along. Every little bit helps. I live next to the Rocky Mountains (zone 5b), so it will definitely be getting very chilly here in the next few weeks. I don't know it I'll ever be able to put the plant outside (even in summer) because the weather is too inconsistent here. (I'm also a little nervous about putting it next to the window, as we have pretty drafty windows + cold temps).

I'll be careful not to overwater as well! Thank you!

You're welcome :)
