Hi Gill

All very good questions, I´ll take them from the top.

No water on the leaves.

It might be from over watering, but I only water when the soil is dry. I use a skewer to check all the way to the bottom.

I don´t think it is a sunburn as it is inside although in a SE window. It stand about 40-50 cm from the window and I turn it often. But of course I can´t be sure.

A few other leaves scattered around had similar but much smaller marks. Those I have removed.

I could peel the top layer off easily, it´s all dry. Underneath the leaf is wet and seems fresh enough.

Thank you for your input :-)

Hi Belemnite. I'm just wondering if the plant is in direct sunlight (next to the window). Not that that's bad, but they need to need to get aclimatised slowly like we do ;-)

This is what some of my plants look like when they get sunburned, so I would assume that that is the problem.

SucculentSavvy - No photo? ;-)

Jade being indoors, even in 'direct sunlight' but 40-50cm away from window is not getting enough light. Would you mind posting photo of it - would suspect it is etiolated due to lack of light (if in that position for a while). It is difficult to get sunburn indoors, far away from source of light. It is like trying to get suntan indoors, thru the windows - have anyone tried it successfully? Glass cuts down sunlight intensity considerably, and what we think is enough light, usually is not for succulents. This plants is native to South Africa and Mozambique - I would think that it is difficult to get same light conditions indoors as they have there. Sunburned leaves often soften up, get darker all over.

Oedema/edema doesn't happen only outdoors, since it is caused by plant taking in more water than it can transpire. It could show up on 1 or few or many leaves; in shapes of small 'dots/pimples' to larger spots.

What is your general location and/or growing zone? It may help to answer many questions if ppl indicate that - best to put it right next to the name...

@rina - thankyou again for correction. Need to read slowly and think before I write.

Yeah I agree that it´s hardly a sunburn. I´ve been googling while at work whoops and it does seem to match up with too much water. Could it be that the damage occurred before I changed my watering routine? I started lurking around at this forum a few months back, and decided to move the plant closer to the window and change how often it was watered. So yes Rina, you are quite right, it is etiolated but it is obvious now that with better light the nodes are growing closer together. I have decided to prune it back next year in spring and take it from there. With proper pruning I might even be able to squeeze it up on the windowsill. Now it is placed on the table right next to the window.

I live in Denmark, in an apartment so I am not able to place it outside during the so called summer we have here. Autumn has officially by the way. Yuck!

It has been cooler overnights around here - I am in much cooler zone than you! -, more than it should be, but still good enough for plants to be outdoors. But if you are in apartment, just do best you can. I would take advantage of any sunny window. Plants go indoors for the winter here, and usually get some etiolation. I use some supplemental lighting for at least 5mo :-:( I just commented about similar question re: jades and sunlight - on this thread - right now, it is last post.)

Pruning in spring, when plant start receiving more natural light, is best time to prune: anything that grew etiolated over winter could be taken care of.
