Do we think it’s time to possibly move into a new pot? Also I’m scared to cut and propagate because of how much she’s grown what does everyone think? I’d like to use this round pot I’m not sure of the actual size though.

    Yes I think you could move pots now. From the picture I'm not sure how much bigger the other one is but I'd go for 1 to 2 inches larger in diameter.

      Thanks! I’ll need to make drainage holes in the new pot but she’s pretty top heavy.

    I can walk you through how to propagate it if you’d like, but as for repotting, don’t move it into anything more than 1-2 inches wider in diameter than the width of the jade’s root ball. I swear by Espoma’s Organic Cactus and Succulent Mix for my jades, and would personally recommend avoiding Miracle Grow’s soil for this plant, even their cactus mix. It’s not well-draining enough. In terms of types of pots, I would opt for a plastic pot with lots of drainage holes or a terra cotta pot with at least one large drainage hole, and would avoid glazed ceramic pots, as those are built for more tropical plants that like not completely drying out, and aren’t built for jades that need to completely dry out between waterings. You don’t have to drill into your current set of pots if you repot the jade into a pot with drainage holes that fits inside either of those pots. Hope this helps.

      Thanks for the advice! I will most likely try to tackle over the weekend but will reach out for help!
