Succulent help

Evening everyone, so I’m really bad at looking after succulents (they’re behind the curtains so get forgotten about 🙄) these two are on a south facing windowsill which sits above a radiator. What is wrong with these two?

I could put these in the potting shed where my haworthia and Sanseveria are but I think the two in the photos need more sun than they could get in there?

Many thanks :smile:

    Thanks for the advice philip. The compost that they’re in is cactus mix but I find that once it’s dried out completely it’s impossible to rewet?

    Problem is that cactus mix is way too organic and unsuitable. Standard recommendation is John Innes No. 2 mixed with 40-50% suitable horticultural grit and NOT sand of any type.
