These succulents (Maeve) seem okay, but as winter is coming I worry I need to change something. I don’t water them often because they are in a glass container. There is succulent soil, sand, rocks and small seashells in this mason jar. Maeve has been in this jar for about two months. Also, I worry about crowding.

Yeah it looks like it needs a repot. Just an inch bigger than the root ball. The soil you've got is good so just repot with the same soil type.

Thank you. I needed that confirmation. I will definitely repot with same soil.

Looks like it was a gift or a craft you made. Cool idea. But repotting would be a good idea. Your soil blend sounds good. The best pot would be one with drainage. And let the soil totally dry out before watering. Also looks like it’s getting enough light because of the stress colors. Thumbs up for taking such good care of it in a closed container like this. It’s a difficult task with a succulent.  
Just in case you didn’t already know, your plant is a sedum adolphi.

I didn’t know what it was. Thank you for letting me know. I definitely going to replant.

They look very healthy actually. You do not have to change anything if you are having no issues now. It does seem like you have been careful with it having no drainage.

Thank you. I know eventually I will have to switch the pot. I am glad they are doing well, but I am nervous for them.
