Choose the Right Soil Opt for well-draining soil, such as a cactus mix or regular potting soil with added perlite or pumice, to prevent waterlogging and root rot
Timing: Repot succulents every 12 to 18 months to ensure their health, although there might be exceptions based on individual plant needs
Carefully Remove the Succulent Tilt the pot, tap the bottom, and slide out the plant. Hold it gently by the stems or leaves while tapping the bottom of the grow pot to release it
Inspect and Trim Roots: Check for any rot or damage. Trim if necessary, ensuring healthy roots remain.
Place in New Pot Position the succulent in the center of the new pot and fill it with soil mix, covering the roots completely
Watering Wait a few days before watering to allow any root damage to heal. Water sparingly to avoid overwatering.
Acclimation Period Allow the succulent to acclimate to its new environment. This helps reduce stress on the plant, especially its roots
Monitor Light and Temperature: Place the succulent in an environment with suitable light and temperature conditions, ensuring it receives adequate sunlight
Inspect and Loosen Roots: If the roots appear tangled, gently loosen them to encourage healthy growth and prevent constriction
Avoid Immediate Watering: Resist the urge to water immediately after repotting. Waiting a few days allows any root damage to heal and prevents overwatering, a common issue post-repotting
