You’d ideally want something that breaks down a lot slower than vermiculite for grit; I’ve heard of people using everything from crushed granite to pea gravel. I personally use at least 80% inorganic. Chicken grit, pumice, scoria(there is some discussion about whether one colour breaks down faster than the other). There are guides in the group, but I no longer know how to find them on the app. lol

Yes, they all look good just put them in soil and give lots of light. Be careful with the root system.

Vermiculite is very water retentive, in case you didn’t know. Vermiculite would be the wrong amendment for the cactus mix here. Something like pumice or scoria or perlite is what you ought to use.

they have tap roots so they should be okay. Put in catcus mix and any stones you have and don’t water until old leaves fully consumed. keep an eye out on roots
