Succulent plants don’t mind crowding if they are grouped in one container or are alone and fully filled out in the container. Transplanting a plant that has filled its container will allow it to experience a new spurt of growth.
Plants that have been transplanted into a container that is too small for them to fully fill out will not be able to grow as much as they would have if they had been placed in a larger container with more room. This is especially true for succulents that require a lot of room for their roots to spread out.
If you have a small container, you may want to consider adding a few more plants to it to make up for the lack of space.

The plant should be placed in a sunny place. Try to place them near a south- or east-facing window since they prefer at least 6 hours of sun per day. You may notice your succulents becoming spindly or stretching toward the light if they are placed too close to the sun. Once the plants are established, you will need to water them regularly to keep them looking their best.
Water them once a week during the summer months, and once every other week in the fall and winter months.

How close can you plant succulents together?
If you want to give your succulents space, I recommend planting them about 1/2″ to 1″ apart (13 mm to 25 mm), whether you’re planting them with other succulents, or in a pot. Give them space from the edge of the pot, so that they can spread out.

You can also use a soil-less mix, but this is not recommended as it will not provide the same level of moisture. If you do not have access to a water-proof pot, you can use an air-tight container with a tight-fitting lid, such as the one pictured below.
This will allow you to keep your soil in place and prevent it from drying out during the winter. It is also a good idea to cover the bottom of your pot with plastic wrap, as this will help to prevent any water from leaking out of the top.
