I have had this plant since 2013. It has never been repotted before, so likely that’s what needs to be done. Any suggestions on how to safely move it to a new pot? Or any other suggestions on how to save it?
Just go for it. Jades are tough. Break up all the roots and dirt. Leave all roots on that are good. If any are mushy cut them off.
New fresh potting soil. I add extra perlite to help with drainage. Cut all skinny stems off and start over.
Move to sunnier spots. Not directly in sun at first though or you’ll burn it. Gradually increase sunlight and you’ll get better thicker growth. The leave pointing down and skinny growth are signs of light deprivation .
