You're gonna want to get the moss out of that pot, at the very least. Also, if that pot doesn't have a drainage hole, you're gonna want to get the plants out of it too!

Succs need, at the very basic level:

  • a pot or planter with good drainage

  • succulent or cactus soil, mixed in a 1:1 ratio with some kind of gritty thing (most people use perlite, some use sand or crushed gravel)

  • 6 hours minimum of direct sunlight per day

The sidebar has more complete information, and goes a lot more in-depth. Hope that helps =)
