Thanks Marguerite, I appreciate the advice.

You could use a spray if the soil doesn't come off easy, and it will help to separate individual plants.

So there was actually closer to 12 plants, I kept fiveish in the original pot and added a mix of sand perlite and potting soil, they came apart nice and easy, I used the same soil mix to pot the other 5 separately I got the soil lightly moist, left 3 on my window sill with the original pot of 5ish, and the other 2 went in my aquarium of cuttings.

Should I water regularly now, or should I be careful, also what kind of lighting should I be using(keep out of direct sun light?)

I really appreciate any tips or comments.

Cheers Jay.

'Gollum' Jades.
In the future, avoid sand in your mix.

Thanks, would perlite be better than sand?

Also can these plants be subjected to full sunlight now? I get about 6 or 7 hours a day. I know jades don't like to much water, I didn't give them a thorough watering after repotting, just made them moist with a spray bottle, is this OK. Should I water once thoroughly or leave them be. Thanks

Yes, perlite would be much, much better than sand. Other grit would be excellent, as well, such a pumice, scoria, turface, et cetera.

Water thoroughly in a day or two. I think they could handle a watering now, though.

Acclimate them to outdoor sunlight slowly, since you don't know how much sun they were receiving before you brought them home. If you're keeping them indoors, put them in the sunniest window you have.

Thanks that was just the info I was looking for.

I'm really thankful for this forum. Theres so much good stuff on here.

I still find it hard to tell the difference between Hobbits and Gollums, Josh. Now that they are 'out' they do look like Gollums to me in some instances at least. Kaktuskris said you go by the majority of the leaves, is that the way you tell too, Josh?

Josh
can you confirm - or correct?

Rina, Finger Jade ('Skinny Finger'/'Gollum') top, 'Hobbit' bottom.

Marguerite, yes, that's typically how I call a Jade. 'Hobbit' and 'Gollum' are so distinct, however, that there are usually only a few monstrose leaves to ignore. Determining differences between very similar sports, such as 'Skinny Fingers' and 'Gollum' is when I really observe the leaves and then call it by the majority, or overall leaf impression.

Thank you. This is how it looked when I bought it:
