How often do you water and what medium are they living in...

The app says every two weeks, but the Nursery said 3 times a year. I finally got a trio and don't want to unalive them. Also, when should you repot them? TIA.
5ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage

Looks like they could use a slightly bigger pot. I have mine in a terracotta pot with just enough room for them to split when they're ready. Don't listen to the app's recommendations for watering. On average I water mine about once a month. But when they start splitting, you're supposed to stop watering altogether. That's because they get all the nutrients and moisture they need from the dissolving outer layers. Use a gritty soil, something like cactus soil with extra perlite or pumice mixed in.
Thank you!!! Would perlite work? I moved it to cactus,succulent,vermiculite, and perlite mix and bigger plastic pot with drainage holes and sat in a little mug.
