If you use terracotta make sure it is sealed inside with something like bondcrete
I like using the glazed pots or plastic a bowl shaped one would be great
I make my own soil mix for succulents and mine thrive
2 parts loam 1 part sand 1 part composted manure and 1 part old potting mix or a peat brick
