Advice needed

Hi everyone! I am planning to repot my plant second week of May and would like to know what type of pot, soil, and everything I should get for both of my plants (I have a trailing jade and a burros tail). I am shocked these two are still alive given my track record and I want to do the best I can to give them a good life! #help
0ft to light, direct
4” pot with drainage

Hi! I recommend a terracotta pot for both plants. Terracotta is great for succulents because it draws out extra moisture which prevents things like root rot. And succulents don’t like to sit in water. You could also use a nursery pot and a cute cover pot if terracotta isn’t as cute as you’d like. For soil they’ll need a well drawing succulent mix. Any succulent mix at the store will be fine.
Remember to wait until the soil is dry to water the plants. Watch your plants they’ll tell you when they’re thirsty. Also make sure the top of the burrows tail gets lots of light so it stays nice and full and doesn’t stretch
