Here are indoor plants that are happiest when they don’t get too much sunlight

This is my first post on this forum - I wasn't sure if it should go here or on the House Plants forum, so sorry if I'm in the wrong place.
I have succulents at home, but recently started taking care of the indoor plants at my church. Predictably, they have a lot of Aglaonemas, which I've never cared for before, only a few of which have tags. There's one pot that I think got sunburned in its previous location right next to a window, so I moved it down by the stairwell to recover. After a couple of weeks it's still not doing well and I noticed one of the stems is soft with what I guess is rot (I stopped watering it when I noticed.) There is another, much smaller pot, with multiple very happy Aglaonema plants in it - several putting out new leaves, etc - but there are roots trailing out the drainage holes.
My question is: it would make sense to me to put the healthier, crowded plants into the larger pot and trim back the sick plants and put them in the smaller pot - is this a good idea? Is now (spring-ish) a good time to repot? I don't want to throw off the healthy plants if they shouldn't be disturbed at this stage.
Also, is Miracle Gro Moisture Control potting mix okay to use? There is a bag of it there, I'm assuming that's what they're in already. Should I mix in some perlite for better drainage?
Thanks in advance for your help!
