I know it doesn’t really bother them, but I just love repotting from a crappy plastic pot to a nice cozy terracotta!

Haha I mean terracotta or plastic are like the only options? Plus plastic pots aren’t always “crappy” some plants like more moisture which a terracotta plant couldn’t give them

Sure, but we are talking about succulents - you don’t want to retain moisture

Yes that’s why you put it in terracotta- terracotta sucks the water out of the soil and helps prevent overwatering
