Why does your Crassula volkensii have white cottony spots? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
These small, soft-bodied insects secrete a white, waxy, cotton-like substance to protect themselves. They feed on the sap of Crassula volkensii, often congregating in the crevices between leaf nodes and stems.
Scale insects can develop a white, fuzzy coating that mimics cotton. They attach themselves to the succulent stems of the Jade plant and slowly drain nutrients, causing leaves to yellow or drop.
This fungal pathogen manifests as a white, powdery coating on leaf surfaces. While less common in high-drainage succulents like Crassula volkensii, it can occur if there is poor air circulation and high humidity.
