New Jade Plant Help

Hiya - my friend just gave me a jade plant he didn’t want anymore and I have no idea what I’m working with. He kept it outside during the summer and said the grasshoppers got to it and I’ve brought it home to be inside for the winter.

Can someone please tell me some information about what I’ve got? Health, new growth, big or small? I sprayed it down with a neem oil mixture before I brought it inside and I’m keeping in quarantined until I know more. Thanks in advance!

Honestly it looks good! She’s a big girl 😂

definitely quarantine and another round of neem won’t hurt in a few days, make sure to get it in all the little nooks and crannies. Just in case! lots of bright light. Minimal watering. These guys are super hardy!

I concur, she THICC! She definitely looks like she was nibbled on, but has some new growth. Just make sure you wait till the soils dry to water. And if the soil you have her in isn't drying out well, add some perlite, if not some perlite and orchid bark.
