Is there a made-up compost for jade plants which is free draining?
Thank for any suggestions.

Or mix ordinary potting compost 2/1 with perlite or some other free draining agent.
I know next to nothing about gardening but my approach to your question was to start with the RHS website, which recommends "a loam-based potting compost with added extra grit":

That took me here, which suggests that a Levington John Innes No 2 or No 3 compost might well be suitable

as long as you add some potting grit to it

Thank you for the information. I'm going to try some outdoors in the summer. I hope they like it.
Cheers
Don't forget to add some broken pottery in the bottom of the pots, a little grit mixed in with the compost, plus a liberal layer on the surface.
I've known these to flower outside, in a good summer.
