What to pay attention to for newly transplanted succulents
Some friends who plant succulents for the first time may not know what issues need attention. Today, let's take a look at the precautions for newly planted succulents.
Do not damage the roots of the succulents
If you are using a plastic or paper pot, I suggest cutting the pot directly from the edge, so that the roots of the plant will not be damaged. But if it's a terra cotta or ceramic pot, you need to use a garden spade to slowly rotate along the edge of the pot and then take it out (because succulents are afraid of water, the new pot must have better drainage and should not be too large).
Retention of original soil and pruning of the root system
Remove the succulent, remove about 2/3 of the outer soil ball, but do not clean all the original soil. Keeping some of the original soil can help the succulent adapt to the pot faster. Then, inspect the root system of the succulent, remove all diseased, old, and rotting roots, and trim some long lateral roots. Finally, the newly pruned roots should be soaked in a fungicide diluent for a few seconds (3-5 seconds), then dried for 2-3 days before planting in the pot.
Do not expose to strong sunlight
While succulents love sunlight, most of them are afraid of strong light, especially newly transplanted succulents. Do not place them in a place with strong sunlight, otherwise, the leaves will get sunburned, and the soil will become harder, leading to transplantation failure. It should be placed in a well-ventilated area with scattered light, as air circulation is more beneficial for its adaptation to the environment.
