White tips on jade roots?

7 years ago

Hi all!


I had to cut back and re-root several jades due to root rot (ugh) maybe 1.5-2 months ago. Put then in clay pots with gritty mix and most seem to be bouncing back well with nice green semi-plump leaves.


The smallest however is strugglIng with sad shriveled leaves. Today I decided to pot up, thinking that maybe the gritty is drying out too fast in it’s small pot (it’s the smallest plant, but also was in a tiny 2” pot while the others had a 4” pot).


Ive been watering once a week since gritty seems to dry out, and occasionally doing a 15 min soak of the whole pot when watering.


When I dumped the pot and rinsed away the mix, the roots look oddly brown but with tiny white tips everywhere. Is this normal? they don’t seem mushy but they definitely aren’t white except for the tips..


for now I went ahead and potted into a 4” pot with gritty but thoughts on this are appreciated! It seems very odd.


Tried my best to capture it —the white tips are tough to photograph.
