    it's pretty much the same as any other plant. larger container, new soil, remove from original container & remove old soil, check the roots and remove anything that is rotted and then spread them out a bit, put some soil in the new container, add the plant and top off with more soil. let sit, unwatered, for a week or so and then get it back on it's usual watering schedule.

    jade does best when in an unglazed clay pot and the soil should be something that is very well-draining. i use cactus mix for mine.

    I'd keep it slightly root bound and only go up one pot size larger.

    I wouldn't repot it unless I was absolutely fed up with its current pot. Yep, they love being rootbound.

    In repotting:

    a) if you want the plant to grow larger: increase pot size.

    b) if you want to keep it the same size: prune roots, and pick a same size pot.
