Can I change the pot of succulent plants without changing the soil? Is wet soil or dry soil better?

1. Is it possible?

When repotting succulents, you must change the soil. The purpose of repotting is to replace the soil without nutrients with a pot of suitable size. Many flower lovers simply shake off the old soil and put the plant directly into the pot when repotting. This is a wrong approach. They should clean the soil at the roots of the plant and cut off the withered and rotten roots before putting the plant into the pot.

Also, if you need to change the pot because of pests and diseases, you must also change the soil. If you still use old soil, the bacteria in the soil will still exist and the plants will be infected again when you repot them.

2. Wet soil or dry soil?

Generally speaking, it is better to use wet soil. When repotting, trim the roots of the plant, disinfect it with medicine, and then dry it. In this case, wet soil can be used. Of course, the soil cannot be too wet. It is best to spray water appropriately and keep it in a slightly moist state. However, the use of wet soil or dry soil is also related to the climate. If the area is hot and humid, black rot will easily occur if wet soil is used.
