Heya!

I'm happy that you enjoyed my input.
I was going to mention the age on my previous post, but then it got so long that i forgot about it.
The plants seem very young indeed, you could let them grow free for some time, with a little pinching here and there so that they grow in diferent shapes.
You could also get them into the pot, if you want your group planting asap, and then pinch them, but the growth would be much slower.

Good luck with this awsome project, i look forward to see how it will develop.

Thanks Diogo,

I plan to get them into their group pot as soon as possible. First I have to screen some diatomatious earth...then I can do it. I have been pinching back these Jades for at least a year now and the result has been developement of branches...which I will continue to do for a while yet.

I saw a mature potted Jade in a store window the other day with several plants in one pot of different sizes with the largest at the front. It was so beautiful and very inspiring...like a miniature, tropical forest. I will post new photos once I have mine repotted. :)
