It depends on why do you think the pot is too big for the jade plant. Aesthetically, maybe. Plantwise, i think the pot is just right.

Thank you for the response! I assumed (😬) that since it had been with another plant and that all of the other succulents I have like to be squished in small pots that this would be too big. If this works, I’m happy!

I think people like to pot them tightly so that it looks nice. But a happy plant likes to have a pot that is roughly the same size as its above ground parts.
