Help! Watering Succulents After Repotting? Follow This Guide and Keep Your Plants Happy!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so, I repotted my succulents a while back, and let me tell you, figuring out the watering schedule afterward was a bit of a head-scratcher. But, I think I’ve got it down now, and I wanna share what I did.

First off, after I moved my succulents to their new pots, I didn’t water them right away. I know it’s tempting, but I read somewhere that you gotta give the roots some time to settle in and heal from any damage during the repotting. So, I waited. Not for too long, just about 2-3 days.

When I finally decided it was time to water, I didn’t just sprinkle a little on top. I went for what they call the “soak and dry” method. This means I completely soaked the soil until water was running out from the bottom of the pot. I made sure to get all the soil wet, not just the top layer.

Then came the waiting game again. I resisted the urge to water them every other day. Instead, I let the soil dry out completely. You can check this by sticking your finger into the soil. If it’s dry a couple of inches down, you’re good to go. I found that this usually took about a week, sometimes a bit longer.

Check the Soil!

  • Stick your finger in the soil
  • Feel if it’s dry
  • Wait until it’s completely dry before watering again

I also noticed that the type of pot matters. I’m using terracotta pots because they’re porous and help the soil dry out faster. If you’re using plastic or glazed pots, they might hold onto water longer, so you’ll need to adjust your watering schedule accordingly.

One more thing I learned is to watch the leaves. They’re pretty good indicators of whether your succulents are thirsty or not. If they start to look a bit wrinkly or soft, it’s probably time to water. But if they’re plump and firm, you’re good.

So yeah, that’s pretty much my watering routine after repotting. It’s all about giving them a good soak, then letting them dry out completely before the next watering. And paying attention to the soil and the leaves helps a lot too. Hope this helps someone out there!
