Generally, the succulents we newly buy all need root trimming. The succulents we buy online will have part of their roots damaged during long transportation, plus the seller also has to remove the soil and dry the roots, and when we ourselves remove the soil and repot, there will always be some dried-up roots. If these dead and rotten roots are not trimmed off and the plant is potted directly, it can easily cause root rot, so root trimming is a necessary task

The root system of succulents is mostly made up of fibrous roots. Root trimming means cutting off its weak and rotten roots, and it can also remove insect eggs on the roots. For succulents being repotted, you can trim off some messy, tangled, intertwined roots, which helps them travel light and helps stimulate new roots

After root trimming, the wounds on the root system must be thoroughly dried. Wait until the wounds have retracted before planting, so the probability of infection is very small. When potting, it is best to use moist soil, and wait until the potting soil is dry before watering thoroughly. When watering, mix in carbendazim and water once to prevent root rot. It is a very effective method
In autumn, you can appropriately increase the light for succulents, you can water the succulents you did not dare to water in summer, let them bask in the sun, and let them slowly recover and slowly develop their colors
To grow succulents, you must learn the necessary tasks. Snip, snip, a few cuts, and from then on there will be no root rot and no black rot. Plump and chubby is the cutest,
