Help! Should I Water Succulents After Repotting? Simple Tips for Success.
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so I’ve been getting into succulents lately, and I recently had to repot a bunch of them. I wasn’t totally sure about the watering situation afterward, so I did some digging and experimented a bit. Here’s what went down:

My Repotting Adventure

First, I gathered all my supplies: new pots, some fast-draining succulent soil (I just grabbed a bag from the garden center), and my little trowel. I also had a spray bottle handy, just in case.

Then, I got down to business. I gently removed each succulent from its old pot, trying not to mess with the roots too much. Some of them were pretty root-bound, poor things!

  • I carefully loosened the roots on the root-bound ones, just a little bit, to encourage them to spread out in the new pot.
  • Then, I placed a bit of the new soil in the bottom of the new pot.
  • Next, I carefully positioned the succulent in the center and filled in the rest of the pot with soil, making sure the base of the plant was level with the soil surface. I didn’t pack it down too tight.

The Watering Dilemma

Now, this is where I was confused. Some folks online said to water right away, others said to wait. So, I decided to try both ways with different plants.

My experiment:

  • Group 1 (Watered):I lightly watered, and that plants seem ok.
  • Group 2(No Water):I did NOT water, and after few days plants seem ok.

What I Learned

It’s been a couple of weeks now, and honestly, both groups are doing pretty well! I think the key is not to OVERwater, whether you water right away or wait a few days. These little guys are tough!

From what I’ve gathered, waiting a few days might be better if you damaged the roots a lot during repotting. It gives them time to heal before they have to deal with moisture. But a light watering right after, just enough to settle the soil, didn’t seem to hurt any of mine.

So, my advice? Don’t stress too much about it! Just be gentle with the roots, use well-draining soil, and don’t drown your succulents. You’ll probably be fine either way! I’m still learning, but that’s my experience so far. Happy planting!
