      All these plants like a chunky mix. A chunky soil is a soil with lots of perlite in it, and sometimes orchid bark, coco chips, vermiculite and more. This is what mine looks like.

    For the top two I typically use all purpose potting soil

    For the jade plant (crassula ovata), aloe plant, pachyphytum, and snake plant, they need a well-draining succulent mix. I would personally avoid miracle grow’s soil if you live in a more humid climate as their stuff can take a longer time to dry out and contains a lot of peat moss. If you’re looking for soil recommendations, I swear by Espoma’s Organic Cactus and Succulent Mix. They also have an All-Purpose Mix you can add orchid bark and perlite too for your other plants. And just wanted to give you a heads up that I took a look at the photo of your jade on your profile, and it currently looks like it’s in a larger pot than it needs, which can lead to overwatering and root rot. They need a pot that fits the size of their root ball, not the size of the plant itself, and enjoy plastic and terra cotta pots. Hope this helps!
