Do succulents need to be watered after repotting? Do I need to bring the original soil with me when repotting?

1. Is watering necessary?

There is no need to water succulent plants immediately after repotting, because wet soil is used when potting. If you water it again, black rot will easily occur. Generally, when repotting it, the roots will be slightly trimmed. If there are wounds on the root system, it will be very easy to get infected in a humid environment. Usually you should wait about a week before watering appropriately. The amount of watering should also be controlled. Too much water is not conducive to plant growth.

2. Do I need to bring the original soil?

1. If the plant needs to be repotted because it is attacked by pests and diseases, or because of root rot, do not bring the original soil. It is necessary to remove the old soil around the roots, trim the roots and use new soil to replant. If the original soil is still there, the pathogens in the soil will still exist and the plants will be attacked again.

2. If there is not enough space for growth, you need to change the pot, and you can keep a small part of the old soil. However, do not directly pot the plant with its original soil. When repotting, you also need to prepare new soil and then pot it.
