Sorry in advance if I’m doing anything wrong I’m new to Reddit and new to succulents in general.
I bought these guys(Assuming it’s two) the other day while I was out of the City. (The last photo is what they were in when I bought them) The Lady at the garden centre I bought from potted it so please lmk if there’s anything that needs changing
Also struggling to find different type information so if anyone knows how to identify this one I’d appreciate your knowledge 😅
Information that might be important;
•The Pot it’s in is tiny but it’s bigger then the plastic pot it was in (so I’m under the assumption it should be fine at least for now)
•I live in Canada (I’ve seen some stuff around this subreddit about what part of the world you’re in makes for differences in care)

Dang Reddit made the format i tried making look decent on my phone look weird😂
It’s actually one plant from the looks of it! It’s just split into two separate heads. I would DEFINITELY recommend a better draining soil mix for these guys, just add as much inorganic material (pumice, perlite, etc) to ensure that water isn’t suffocating the roots. Also, make sure this guy gets a lot of light!
yeah, the garden store lady didn’t know much about these. I pot mine in almost entirely inorganic medium.

also, you need to allow at least 3.5 inches of depth for the roots of these guys. can’t tell how big your pot is. they look pretty full up with water, so I wouldn’t expect to water again until fall.
One of the most important things is to not water until the tops get wrinkly or if they’re splitting
