Sunburned jade

[jwrivers]

Hello all!!

I had by Jade in the sun and it got sunburned. Not to bad just a several leaves on the top.

What will happen to the leaves? Will the come back or fall off?

It is in a 8in. pot from Wal-Mart and I was going to seperate them into training pots. can I still do that or are they stressed and I have to wait?

Any info would be of great help.

John,

I've had this problem before, caused by moving them from their winter quarters to full sun without a transition period. Those particular leaves will remain damaged but don't worry about it. You can still re-pot if you wish, Jades are tough. No need to use large pots either, I have found root growth on Jades is surprisingly slow compared to top growth and they don't mind being in tight quarters anyway.
