Hopefully you can untangle them. You could soak the rootball for a while, and then set it on some newspaper or paper towels to soak extra moisture off. They may be easier to pull apart. If potted in to much peat and it was allowed to dry up, it could be more difficult - peat could be as hard as rock. If needed, some roots can be trimmed off. Jades are very resilient, and should grow more roots easily. I always loose some when repotting, and it didn't kill any plants yet. Even if all roots are gone, just pot it up and treat as rootless stem cutting: pot into well draining mix, do not water for a while (no roots - no water :), and it will grow new roots.

I prefer 1 plant per pot, but some like potful of stems.

Agreed with rina, you should be able to get them apart without too much struggle and even if you have to prune the roots a bit it’s a very resilient plant and will bounce back quickly with the right care.

Sure you can, but I think it looks nice the way it is. Maybe leave it a year or so until you feel it's too large for the pot. Hope that pot has a hole.

I had a pot with 4 compact jades in it. I thought it looked nice and I let it grow for 2 years (I think, maybe 3). When the plants started really crowding and impacting the growth, like bent stems, I separated them. And I put them in better mix, too!

Here's the original 6 inch pot - growing outdoors all year long. You can see they are started to push each other.

Separated - They ultimately needed some pruning to improve the shape, but then again, jades always need a little nip and tuck. LOL I like to use rocks to prop my plants.

So as long as your plants are still healthy, go for the look you like the best.

Enjoy!

I did the same thing this fall with my old jade. It had severely over grown its pot so I was just planning to pot it bigger and decided to clean out the old soil at the same time.

Long story short it turns out it was 9 separate plants. It took a lot of work hosing down the root ball and wiggling the plants apart but they all separated and are doing great in their own pots now.

Yours looks like it should be fairly easy to separate.
