I got two succulents about a year ago during orientation at uni, just planted in tiny cups with standard soil. I didn't have any time to repot them until now but they were doing surprisingly good in my opinion, for what they were planted in. Some of the leaves on the bottoms weren't looking great though so I decided to finally upgrade their soil and pots and chose Bonsai Jack Gritty Mix #111 after some research. All the amazon reviews said their plants thrived in it by mine have started dying within the week Crying

Is this dehydration? They both developed aerial roots within 2 or 3 days of being repotted and because this "soil" is so fast draining and the leaves have quickly began to curl up and wrinkle I've been watering a lot more frequently (2 or 3 times a week) but they don't seem any better at all. Pls help me save them!

For reference here is what they looked like a few weeks ago before I repotted them:
