I don’t know what others will say but after research, I found I was supposed to repot them as soon as a brought them home.

Honestly would only do that if it’s soil is not drying out right and stuff I don’t repot less it is needed

succulents need as much bright light as you can offer and be sure to let the soil dry out all the way, and then some, before watering again
