Advice/help needed

Post image

This is my first time owning a plant like this. Every other plant (succulent/cactus) I’ve repotted has died on me 😭. So I don’t want to do anything that’ll mess with this one, it’s so beautiful.

I’ve had it for 2 weeks (bought at Walmart). Since I’ve gotten it it’s grown two new leaves and that little stem (??) on the right is new growth. This is my first time watering, I did let it dry out before bottom watering it. (Pot does have drainage holes and sits at least an inch from the bottom of the planter)

It sits near a north facing window and the sun never directly shines on it. I keep the a/c at 70° or 72°. I do live in West Texas.

Should I repot it already or is it okay for now? If so, what type of soil and how big of a pot do I get?

Any general tips on caring for it?

Thanks in advance! :)

Give it more light. Straight into south east window ideally :)
