I recently noticed some white spots on my Gollum jade plant, and I initially thought it was a fungus. I sprayed it twice with potassium bicarbonate, but the spots haven't disappeared. Any advice on what these spots could be and how to treat them?

It sounds like you might be dealing with mineral deposits rather than a fungus. This can happen if you're using tap water, as the minerals can accumulate in the plant's pores. It's pretty common for jade plants to show these white spots. Maybe try using distilled or rainwater to see if that helps clear it up!
Definitely check the watering method. If you're using tap water, those white spots could be mineral buildup. Switching to distilled water might help. Also, if you haven't already, consider giving it a good wipe down with a damp cloth to clean the leaves.
