Do newly transplanted succulents need watering?

1. Potting with wet soil

If the soil has been moistened before transplanting, do not water it after transplanting. Because there is already enough moisture in the flower soil at this time, if you water it again, water will easily accumulate and damage the roots of the plant. At this time, you should place it in a semi-shaded place for a period of time, and consider watering it after the soil is dry.

2. Dry soil potting

If dry soil is used for transplanting, then watering is required as appropriate after transplanting. If the plant's roots are growing well and it is relatively short of water, you can consider watering it once. But if the plant has already started to grow too tall, or the leaves are full and retain a certain amount of moisture, then watering is not necessary. Wait for 2-3 days to acclimate before considering watering.

3. Notes

If the flower soil you use does not have very good drainage, do not rush to water it after repotting. Be sure to wait until it adapts to the new soil before watering. When watering for the first time, you can add a small amount of low-concentration carbendazim to the water to prevent residual pathogens in the soil from infecting the plants.
