Tiffany,

Yes, I took the advice in this thread and re-potted them in a mixture of equal volumes of succulent potting mix and perlite above a two-inch layer of white gravel. I had not watered the plants beforehand, so I was able to tease the previous mix away from the roots before planting. I waited a week before watering with five ice cubes per pot. That was two weeks ago, and they seem very happy (growing).

Now I would be grateful for advice about fertilizing (or not). I have MiracleGro all purpose mix. Do I need a special fertilizer for cactus/succulents, or will MG work?

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the suggestions posted in response to my original question, and thanks to you, Tiffany, for following up!
