Hi Parae, and welcome to The Garden Helper
I have several jades that are grown outside. You can divide by digging half the roots etc. "IF" there are multiple stems but I DO NOT RECOMMEND that!....it makes the
plant want to fall over because of lack of root structure beneath the soil....like I said it can be done but it is a lot riskier and supports etc. would be necessary until the
plant regrows those supporting roots.
Like others have stated I would take a nice healthy branch(refer to Bill's write up on how to remove and
plant)....let it heal over (callous) for a couple days in the shade and then
plant that section.
Some people worry about their jade branches leaning over when they get heavy...don't worry about it....they will produce a lot of little babies on the stem and you will have a much fuller
plant. Jades are very forgiving
plants and you can trim and cut etc. and they will come back again. The important thing is watering....they love quite a bit of water during certain times of the year(once established)...jades do have a resting period in which less water will be required. Something very important if
growing them in pots in the house...make sure you let the top 1/3 of the soil dry before rewatering once established or you will end up with those dreaded fungus gnats.
Now remember I live in California and mine are planted outside. The more light jades have, will cause them to have a slight red along the tips of the pads(leaves). Right now my jades are blooming.
