So I have this Jade Succulent that I got as a gift 3-4 years ago and it’s been doing okay up until this year. I recently repotted it last week and the roots were very small. Today when I went to water the plant, I found that there’s a lot of new growth at the ends of the stems but the bottom of the stems are all dry and shriveling up. Is my plant dying? Should I try cutting off the new leaves and propagate them?
Check the soil, like get a dowel/chopstick and stick in all the way down into the soil till it hits the bottom. If the stick is wet, you have overwatered it. If the stick is bone-dry, you should probably water it.

New growth will sometimes take nutrients from the older parts of the plant. I would check the roots once soil is dry it might be time to repot and do a good spring feeding.
