I’m so scared to kill my little butts. I’ve seen all the charts and watering guides but I would just really appreciate a second opinion. Please and thank you🙏🏻

First, the soil is *way* too organic. You want 90% inorganic (perlite, gravel, pumice) and only 10% dirt. You seem to have the reverse of that. Don’t understand the layering in pot #2.
Beyond that, here’s my two cents:
1) First pot: big guy is fine, but all the others look thirsty. Did you just pot these or have you had them for a while? If the former, then they need a watering a week or so after planting to start making roots and settling in!
2) Second pot: guy in the middle might be ok, but I’d water all of them. Am concerned about what looks like a no-drainage pot, since my recommendation would be to soak the pot from below.
ditto. all this first and foremost. EDIT: i meant to respond to red fox.
for the future: i water when they look like wrinkled scrotums. (sorry lol). just make sure to look into the times when to NOT water them.
the soil u have these in will kill these. the second pic seems to be a container with no drainage which also will kill these. Get perlite or pumice (theure the easiest to get) fill a big bowl with it and put a handful of potting soil in. that’s the mix u want. u also want to keep them in a pot with drainage holes. The do seem thirsty but that also could be because they weren’t able to put out roots bc the dense soil wouldn’t allow ait to them.
