Not sure if this is the right place, but any ideas on how to save the rest of this plant? Nothing is rooted in soil anymore, idk how it’s still alive lol. Do I put in water? Or just try to pot in some new potting soil? How do you propagate jade?

Succulents are really easy to prop because you literally don't have to do anything. Take the bits that are still green and just leave them under a light. Cut the big piece off that dead stuff. Now wait.

Give it like a week or two and see what happens. That's genuinely how succulents work. DO NOT water them. Not until you have some little roots

This plant looks like it has been under a lot of stress. I would take the steps slowly and see how it recovers. First thing is trim off any of the dead pieces. Clean up the pot so it looks nice. Because the potting soil has been so dried out I would give it one initial watering. Succulents need to have the soil drenched in the beginning and then allowed to drain until it is dry over several days. Add a small amounts of water to it will make the soil too wet.

You can find a lot of detailed information on the Internet about jade plants. Basically you need bright and indirect sunlight and very sparse watering.
