Im no expert but Jade's need a lot of sun. It's probably a combination of not enough sun/too much water. They should completly dry out before you water. If it's not in full sun it could take weeks to dry out, not good for any succulent IMO. It looked like you had it next to your couch so it probably isn't getting the proper sunlight. Try moving it to a sunnier location.
Good luck

More information is needed to give you the proper advise. Jades are winter growers, really don't need much water this time of year unless you live in Alaska.
I don't know what your problem is I can't see your plant, nor the soil. Where do you have it located, what are the temperatures. What size is the pot. How fast did you move it from inside during the winter months, if you did how fast did you put it into the sun. How hot has it been?
Do you water from overhead, and do you fertilize. Any insects getting to the plant, and have you used a pesticide? I could write a book on their care, and I don't have room here to do so. Treat it like you would a winter growing plant, they like cool weather,80 during the day and 50 at night, low humidity, lots of light, they like to live in rocky soil, on a hillside, so the water will drain very fast. I keep a 30% shade cloth on mine, but I don't know where you live, and where your plant is placed. So.- West- East-North wall, or in the house. So give the group more information and I bet they will come up good suggestions for you to follow or try out. We all need to use our own judgement, nothing is black or white. Are you using clay pot or plastic? I'm not trying to be nasty here, but I do know what it takes to make them happy and that is the question you asked, and I like to be through. Norma

I want to remind you that it may take a while to heal, and get well again, don't try and push it. Norma

Norma,
my jade seems to be growing lustily right now.
I think the dormant period might have been the month of June, when we had real hot weather. Anyhow, should I keep watering as long as the plant's growing new branches and leaves?

Thanks Norma,
I live in Vancouver. We have sunny summers and rainy winters. Right now the temp goes from 15 Celsius to about 25 on average. Our plant is next to our couch next to a south facing window. It gets lots of light, but no direct sunbeams.

We aren't giving it any fertilizer right now. The pot is plastic and the soil is cactus soil. The pot has a drainage hole. The last time i watered it was a month ago. I water from overhead and no insects have gotten to it (as far as i know). The pot is about 30 inches wide. When i watered it in the past. I'd soak it and let all the water drain into the sink.

I hope this info helps.

Don't soak it, just water 'til some comes out the bottom. Maybe soaking it is part of the problem.

And the fact that it doesn't receive any direct light...

After looking at your plant again, those wrinkled stems are an indicator of trouble. I had a nice jade in the ground, when it started to wrinkle like that I cut off all the wrinkled part and found rot. I lost the plant eventually. I would cut those stems of first and see what's going on inside the stem. They greyish part at soil level is also going to be a spot of speculation.

What brand of cactus soil are you using? Some, like Schultz, have water retention pellets in them.

Thanks a lot for all the advice!
Just a note on the soil: I have other Succulents planted with this soil and they are doing great. Of course, they are receiving direct sunlight, so that probably points to one of the issues. There is definately some rot in the stems that have fallen or broken off.

I'll incorporate all the advice that you've shared with me. Thanks again!

Well, on a closing note since you mentioned rot on some stems, rot spreads. Pls. be sure to cut all the way back to healthy growth (even if you have to cut back far). Otherwise the rot can spread: also, pls. be sure to sterilize your tools or blades w/ alcohol so as not to spread the rot.

It looks like it needs to be restarted. A 30" pot is huge, and the plant just doesn't look that big. Maybe it was at some point, but now that's too much soil. If it were mine, I'd start over with cuttings and toss the original plant. Once the cuttings are rooted, I'd move them outside to a shaded location, then slowly move them into sun. Of course, now we're getting towards fall (especially for us northerners...), but if they're cuttings in small pots, you can set them right on a south windowsill where they will get direct sun all day through the winter. That will give you much nicer growth. It's hard to get nice looking Jades up north here unless you can keep them directly in a south window with no curtains to obstruct the sun all day. But moving them outside in summer is absolutely necessary to healthy growth up here IMO.

Hope you're able to salvage some of your Jade.
