3. Thorough watering: Soak the succulent plant in water for a period of time to allow the roots to absorb water sufficiently.
4. Transplanting: Place the succulent plant in the prepared new soil, making sure that the roots are not buried too deep to avoid affecting breathing.
5. Watering: Thoroughly water the plant immediately after transplanting to allow the soil to fully contact the roots.
Precautions1. Avoid direct sunlight: After transplanting, succulent plants need to be protected from direct sunlight to prevent leaf sunburn.
2. Appropriate shading: In the early stage of transplantation, it is appropriate to provide some shading to help the succulent plants adapt to the new environment.
3. Gradually increasing light exposure: Over a period of time after transplantation, gradually increase the duration of light exposure to allow the succulent plants to adapt to the light intensity.
