Newbie needs advice please

Hi, This is my first time posting on this forum and I would be grateful for any advice any of you experts could give me. I have been growing many kinds of plants for years but have never tried succulents before. The other day while at Home Depot, I just could help but buy a few varities of succulents because they were just so cute!

Now I am wondering what I need to do to keep them happy! Most of them are in really tiny pots, some of them 2 inch pots, should I repot them into something a little bigger? I read somewhere on here that it is good to use organic compost with perlite so that is what I was planning on using. Also which is better, plastic or clay pots?

The varieties I bought are: Anacampseros telephiastrum Variegata, Crassula Jade fingers, Sedum rubrotinctum, and Graptopetalum amethystinum. But to be honest there were so many others that I wanted to buy. But I figured I should try a few and see how it goes before I spend too much money on them.

Thanks, Linda
