I recently noticed some healthy leaves falling off my Jade plant, and I'm puzzled. I know leaf drop can indicate overwatering, but I'm pretty sure I haven't overwatered her. She was repotted two weeks ago into a pot with drainage holes, using a soil mix that's half perlite. I only water her when the leaves look wrinkly, so I didn't water her until I saw that today. That's when I found about seven healthy leaves had dropped. I've also just dealt with a mealybug issue and was hoping my plant would be on the mend. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?

What do the leaves look like that fell off? Were they plump and squishy, or more shriveled? Any color changes or transparency? It would really help to see a picture of both the plant and the leaves if you can!
Here's a pic of the plant and the leaves that came off. They actually fell off just from me touching the plant!
Sorry, I tossed the leaves already! I can post a picture when I get home.
