Neil,

Jade as in crassula? Bright light or filter sun and I use a gravel mix. I really like small lava rock with sharp sand and a high quality potting soil, 1 part each. Works well for all my cactus/succulent collection. Key West may no have da lava rock. Maybe some small pieces of chunky coral? My point is the rock should have a rough surface to hold air. Here in FL my crassula seems to grow best in the cool season Oct/Nov and again in early spring. I feed mine weakly/weekly when they are showing growth, rain water or tap water that has set out overnight every two weeks when they aren't in growth. I have seen regular jade in pot on the front steps in 1/2 day sun around town and it looked good.
