What Should I Know Before Repotting My Succulents?

Asked by GreenThumbGal123
I recently realized that I potted my 15 different types of succulents in the wrong soil about a week ago. I've just received some perlite and plan to mix it with soil at a 50-50 ratio. Since they've been in the incorrect potting soil for about a week and I've only watered them once, I'm looking for advice on what to consider before I repot them.

Definitely avoid watering your succulents for a few days after repotting. It gives the roots some time to heal and adjust, which is super important for their recovery!

GreenThumbGal123: Will do, thanks for the tip!

Before you start repotting, make sure to clean off as much of the old soil from the roots as you can. Just gently brush it off with your hands, but be careful not to damage the roots. This will help your plants adjust better to the new soil mix!
