General speaking, indoor succulents do not need grow light. If your window is full of sunlight all day then your succulents can survive well even in winter without grow light. However, during winter time, succulent often do not get sufficient sunlight and hence, etiolation and fading color are common issues.
I'd use regular sunlight by a window or take them outside for a couple hours during the beginning or end of the day for a little fresh air and light.
They flourish as long as they are near a window! Succulents are very hardy! Like the easiest plants to take care of!
My succulents thrive on sunny window sills. My daughter uses grow lights for hers, because her apartment doesn't get enough sun. I find them easy to grow because they don't like a lot of fuss, just give them sun and an occasional drink and they thrive. Good luck and stay safe!

Have you thought of a jade plant?

Minimum amount of direct light. Very little water.
Dessert roses, jade, mini jade, many variations of aloe are sold small, echeveria. If you're interested in plants that don't need a ton of water, also take a look at cacti. Snake plants aren't necessarily small, but they are an amazingly hardy variety of succulent. If you want a flowering plant, kalanchoe is a beautiful succulent, can be trained to bloom continuously, and kept relatively small. Hope this helps!
It will depend on what you want to use for a planter. You can add a bit of gravel with the soil. You only mist them weekly so water drainage shouldn't be an issue.
Yes they grow indoors, so long as they have light. You can buy special succulent mix from garden centres etc.
Hello, hope this helps you out.
