Does a succulent need to be watered after being repotted with dry soil?
Many新手 (novice) succulent enthusiasts don't know whether to water the succulent after potting it. Below, the editor will explain whether to water the succulent after repotting with dry soil. Let's take a look together.
Does a succulent need to be watered when planted in dry soil?
If we use dry soil to repot the succulent, we must water it, because although the succulent does not absorb water after being repotted, it also needs a relatively humid environment. This way, the roots of the succulent can adapt and grow faster. If it is very dry all the time, the roots of the succulent will dry out, which can lead to the death of the plant. Therefore, we must water after repotting with dry soil, but the watering should be moderate and not excessive.
How to water a succulent after repotting
If the roots of the succulent are already dry and there are no other diseases or pests before repotting, we can water the succulent because the wound has healed and water will not cause infection.
If the soil of the succulent is mixed with carbendazim or other fungicides to ensure there are no other pathogens in the soil, we can also water the succulent. If the roots of the succulent are wounded, do not water too much.
If the succulent is repotted with large particle soil, we can also water the succulent appropriately because the large particle soil has very good drainage, and water will not remain in the soil for too long.
If the weather is sunny for the near future, we can also water the succulent after repotting and then place it in a shaded and well-ventilated area to care for it. The water in the soil will quickly evaporate, so it will not have a bad effect on the succulent.
