I’m reporting my jade in gritty mix because it’s been dropping yellow leaves (Several a week). Previously it was in 50/50 cactus perlite and a tiny pot (maybe 3” pot?) and I kept it pretty dry, watering until it ran through maybe once every 1-2 weeks.

I wasnt sure sure why it was dropping leaves, but thought it had root rot (again). Here’s photos after I bare rooted it to repot —- they’re brown but I can never tell! Nothing seems particularly mushy or weird smelling and the stem is fine.

Should i I cut them all off or just stick it in new gritty mix as-is?

I just had had to cut it off a few months ago for rot and I’d hate to lose more / restart it all over again! I struggle with IDing root rot because to me most roots look brown anyway.
