Have they ever been repotted? It may be a root issue, if you think they water schedule is fine

Yes, they were repotted. I bought them and they didn't seem to soak up water. I struggle with knowing when to repot and when to just add soil in succulents/cactus... its cold weather now though I keep my indoors temp at min 68⁰F. For succulents, do I follow Planta's watering schedule or is there a consistent schedule? Thank you so much for replying!

I can usually follow plants schedule and be fine. I do occasionally end up watering early depending on how close to circulating air or heaters the are. But I wouldn't say super often. If i have a plant that seems to be struggling i usually try to water them with lukewarm water, it speeds up the water uptake of the plant, maybe try that? Anacampseros are kinda know for the wrinkle tantrums though be it dehydrated or heat issues.
