An old Jade

14 years ago

Hi all this is my 1st post and sorry if reposting but i have a few questions .(with bad photo :D)

Soo this summer i got a jade plant(it's about half a meter high,can't rly tell becouse it's in a barrel and im not sure if all the branches in there are conected to one thick trunk or some of them are seperate) from my fried he sed it was over 18-years old,it was in a pretty bad condittion soo i asked him to give it to me becouse i wanted to bonsai-it somehow.He didn't water it for a few weeks he sed and the last repot this plant had was something like 3 years ago in a bad draining soil and in a 5L beer barrel ;D ..soo the day i took it from him I removed all the dead branches and leaves and gave it a nice watering since the leaves were all quite dry(the jade is now doing well i would say the leaves are green and healthy).What i was thinking to do was to repot it in spring in a mixture of pumice and something else in a shallow pot and let it stay there for a few weeks before triming it soo it doesnt get a huge shock. Soo my questions are :1) Is that a good idea what i was thinking? _2)I know you should not repot before spring but should i have done it alredy since it's 3 years in a 5L beer barrel :-/ and_3)Could you give me some advice on pruining or anything else that i might have missed?
