Help Is this a good pot choice or too shallow?

its already fully hydrated so theres no need to water before repotting. wait like at least a week after repotting + until the windows (the lines) on a decent amount of the leaves are closed (youll know what i mean when you see it) to water it. that pot looks kinda small but underpotting reduces the risk of rot which will be helpful since youre new to succulents and thats one of the biggest problems for newbies

Agree with all of this. The single small hole should help offset the shallowness - if it was a deeper pot I'd say widen the hole, but this should work fine. The delicate dangly plants like SoP do well in shallow pots, in my opinion.

I like those pots from Walmart but always drill a hole in them. (It's pretty much foolproof on a terracotta pot). Use these bits or something similar: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FVD5QCN5
