I agree with Tarev. Everything looks good and you'll have a stronger, healthier plant, one with better shape.

Some people will just water their jade on a regular schedule and there is nothing wrong with that as long as you don't overdo it. Your jade will "tell your" when it needs water though. Just watch the leaves. When they are plump, everything's well. When some of the leaves begin to shrivel a bit, the plant is thirsty. I often am so busy with my tropical plants that the jade and aloe vera plants get neglected. When I see those slightly shriveled leaves I take all the jade and all the aloe vera plants and plunge them in a large tub filled with water. I will actually leave them all completely submerged until no more bubbles come up. That might take 5-10 minutes, depending on how dry the soil and roots were and how large the pot. Then I let them all drain completely and back on their perches/shelves they go.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
