Jade Plant with Flaky White Coating and Red Leaf Edges

The white flaky material is dried wax from healthy leaves—sign of watering issues. Red edges on sun-exposed leaves are normal sun response, not disease. Shriveled leaves indicate watering problems (either too much or too little).

Watering

In sandy mix, let soil dry ⅓ deep before thorough watering. If roots rotted from overwatering, symptoms mimic underwatering. Adjust carefully.

Light

For all-green leaves, move to north/east window to reduce direct sun.

Repotting

If you repotted, root rot is likely. Jades prefer being left alone.
