They're not fuzzy or dusty looking, just flat. It looks like someone marked them onto the plant with a black magic marker. They started as small spots but have conglomerated together now and the whole leaf/spear is black. What should I do? The plant came without a label. The leaves are like long dark-green flattened fingers. Thank you for helping.|||Sounds like a fungus. While it normally will not kill the plant it will weaken it and should be treated. Funginex is a fungicide normally used on roses but I have successfully treated succulents and cacti with it. Use the weakest concentration recommended because a lot of succulents do not respond well to being sprayed. I think you have a jade plant ( Crassula ovata ) Don't spray the plant while it is in the sun and keep it out of direct sunlight for a few days. Funginex makes the leaves sensitive for those first few days and they can burn in the sun.
Anything that is black should be cut off - the black portion is not going to recover.
I hope this helps you - jade plants recover well from this.
