Okay, so I’ve been repotting some of my plants lately, and I always have this question in my mind: should I water them right after? I decided to do a little experiment with two of my snake plants to figure this out.

Getting Started

First, I gathered my materials. I had:

  • Two snake plants that were ready for bigger pots
  • Two new pots (slightly larger than the old ones)
  • Potting mix (the kind that drains well)
  • My trusty watering can

The Repotting Process

I took the first snake plant out of its old pot. The roots were a bit crowded, so it was definitely time for a change. I gently loosened the roots with my fingers, being careful not to break too many.

Then, I put a layer of fresh potting mix in the new pot. I placed the snake plant in, making sure it was centered, and filled the pot with more soil, leaving a little space at the top.

I repeated all process above with the second snake plant

The Watering Experiment

Here’s where I are the experiment begin. I watered the first repotted snake plant thoroughly, making sure the water drained out of the bottom. But my mind has question about whether I should do, then I decided to water the second on some day later

Observations and Results

Over the next few days, I watched both plants closely. Honestly, I didn’t see a huge difference. I just keep watering the first one at a regular schedule.

I watered the second snake plant two day later, it seems has no difference. They both seemed pretty happy. Maybe it is not a big deal for snake plant.

My Conclusion (for Snake Plants, at least!)

Based on my little experiment, I’d say it probably doesn’t matter too much if you water a snake plant immediately after repotting or wait a bit. Just don’t let it stay dry for too long, snake plant are also need some water. They’re pretty tough plants, I guess!
