Hello Audreyc! Sorry for my very late reply to Sandy's tag, I was out of the country.

Anyways, looking at your plant, I agree with Sandy, you have cut enough. Just allow it to acclimate once more. I usually find my Jade plant starting to grow actively again when temps are cooler. Well, maybe because my area is just so hot and dry during summer time. Are you able to position the plant towards some more light? It does appreciate lots of light. I don't use vermiculite to any of my succulents, since it holds more water, so got to keep the media fast draining so I either add perlite like you did or I add pumice. Jade plants does have a very shallow root ball, so it does not need too big of a container, but as already mentioned, it wants to have a fast draining soil. Your use of cactus soil and perlite is okay. Thumbs up
