Care tips for beautiful old jade

#Crassula #Jade I recently inherited this beautiful old jade plant.

The bark is flaky but not mushy. Some leaves are yellowing, but they still feel firm. The soil is dark and old, and it is covered with bonsai moss that gets hard when dry. As for the babies, only the middle one has roots and is hanging on. It has been like this for at least the past few months, but I do not know what happened before.

I think the old soil holds too much water, but I am worried that repotting will shock the plant. What would you do? Any tips for an old jade?

@meb Hello! I think you may want to repot it- that looks like a 4” pot and the plant is pretty big to be in that! Jade is a succulent so it likes sandy soil and not too much water. That is what I would try if it were mineβ€ΌοΈπŸ˜ƒπŸͺ΄πŸŒΊ
