most likely, yes. they’re probably not getting enough sun and will have different care needs. that being said, if you just got brought them home, give them a little while to adjust to their new environment first!

Have any tips on the best soil for them I’d like to keep  
Some together but the big one in a pot of her own

i just use classic cactus/succulent soil + some orchid bark mixed in (i am an overwater-er so i want it to drain super well)

I feel much better with them being separated I hope they enjoy their new homes 🪴😬

I think they’re mostly fine, you don’t need to put them in separate pots though just together in a bigger pot
