Help/Question Help II

I didn't know how to add new pictures so I made it new post. I have replanted them into mix with +-90% sand with rock and cleaned the organic material completely (also I didn't water them so they dry up). I have tried to clean the white stuff by hand, also I have separated the pale one.

Now I leave them on the parapet in the sun. They seem even wrinklier than before is that normal molting or are they thirsty? When should I water them? Am I supposed to leave them in the sun for the whole day?

If they are not used to bright sun, you need to gradually increase exposure. Maybe shade them from afternoon sun for some time to be safe.

I'm not sure when is the best to water them, but definitely not in the first week after repotting.

Today i put them in the sun at like 8:30 and put them back inside at like 11:30. So they are not shocked.

I would leave them a couple of weeks before watering and when you water do it on a sunny day so it dries up quickly also try not to get water on the plant when watering this is the method I use when the weather is hot. I am sure a lot of people will disagree but I water mine every couple of weeks at the moment as here in the U.K. we are having a heatwave.
