No plant prefer tight roots...but you will find that 'info' all over the net. Plants may tolerate it, but not like it.

Best potting mix for succulents is well-draining, and contains lots of (could be all) inorganic particulates - grit, perlite, turface, pumice, scoria, some small bark. Mix like that allows for good and fast drainage and aeration. There is lots of info on this site if you are interested to read - search for gritty mix or 1.1.1.

The pot size depends on size of the plant. How large are your plants? - can you post photo? And it would be good if you add your growing zone or general location next to your name - easier to give appropriate advice.

Ok thank you very much! I don't actually have a jade plant I was thinking of getting one and just doing a bit of research first. I'm in Montreal.

That's great thank you! I'll book mark this post and get back to when it's warmer :-)

Julie,

Rina's jades are closer and better, but I've got some BC jade, too, in case her plants aren't enough. I think at this page you could theoretically get jade from at least three provinces - this hobby will make you do that.

Yes I think I'm starting to realize how addictive this hobby can be...
