There are various times it's necessary to repot your succulents. The first is right after you buy them. A lot of times nurseries will grow succulents in a very organic soil that doesn't drain well. 

When to repot succulents

The first step of successful succulent planting is to get rid of the nursery pot and remove as much soil as you can. Nurseries almost always plant their succulents in soil that's way too dense and retains too much water.  

Remove Your Pot and Soil

Place Mesh Over the Drainage Hole

Before you place your succulent in the pot you've chosen, fill it almost (but not quite) to the top with succulent soil.
