To be honest, jade plants survive no matter how you plant them; it is the easiest plant to root and the easiest to keep alive. First, you need to make sure that when you bought it, the roots were dried out properly. That is, the wounds on its roots were dried before planting. If it was planted after the wounds were dried, you can plant it in moist soil or water it directly, and even if it rains now and it gets rained on again, it does not matter, because its wounds have already healed. Watering will only encourage it to root, and rain will also encourage it to root, with no effect on it at all, so you can completely ignore it.

If you just bought it and did not dry the roots or change the soil, and planted it directly with the original soil, then rain may cause root rot. This is because during long-distance transport it was stuffy in a cardboard box, and if its roots had already begun to rot, you did not notice when planting and then it got rained on, which will only cause severe root rot. If you are worried, you can mix mancozeb with water and pour it directly onto the potting soil, soaking it thoroughly. You can also remove all its soil, check the roots and trim them, then put it in a cool, ventilated place to dry for a few days so the wounds on the roots dry out completely. Then replant it with new soil, and after planting this time just water it thoroughly directly.

Jade plants are very easy to grow. Whether transplanting or taking cuttings, as long as you let the wounds dry before transplanting or taking cuttings, they root very easily, and the roots also grow out very easily.
