Should I repot my Jade?

11 years ago

I am torn about whether or not I should report my Jade. I put it outside for the summer and as it has in the past it absolutely took off and has gotten significantly bigger in the past few months. However it has now been dropping a dozen or so leaves each week or two for the past month or so. The leaves yellow first then drop. I thought it might be it was getting too much water from the rain but it has been continuing despite a dry spell. The soil is pretty much rock hard on top (A failed attempt at making my own succulent mix, I think the sand I used was too fine). However the plant has thrived in this soil for over a year. So is this leaf drop normal, shedding older leaves that aren't getting as much light anymore? Or has my soil compacted over time and has now begun choking it out? You can see how a few leaves are yellowing in the pictures.
