You said a Cactus mix is good? I was advised to watch out for a mix with peat moss or anything peat as it holds back water and won't allow drainage.

Definitely use a cactus mix or regular potting mix with a good amount of perlite. Watch out for peaty mixes for sure because it holds onto moisture like you said and succulents don't like it very much

If you're going to move it, definitely remove all the soil before transplanting into the gritty mix! I say if you think it's not liking it's current environment definitely take action!

    Thanks for the feedback, I caught myself doing that too and have stopped doing that (I think!) or maybe I don't call them guys as frequently anymore in my newer videos :D
