You’re doing it! Only other suggestion is succulent specific medium as their needs differ from typical houseplants

These are Donkeys Tail! They would prefer to be under watered rather than over watered. I water mine until the water comes out of the bottom every 14 days (every other Sunday) and keep it near a window that isn’t blasted by the sun.
