In spring, succulents are extremely popular, but though they look very simple, they are actually hard to grow. Today let's take a look at how succulents should really be cared for.

Now we are repotting the succulent. First place a piece of drainage stone in the pot, then put in the succulent soil. Growing succulents requires a properly mixed succulent potting soil.

We use coconut coir and perlite. If you don't have coir, you can replace it with peat moss; just be sure to guarantee its air permeability and drainage.

When repotting, do not damage the roots of the succulent, then gently take it out and place the whole succulent into another pot.

Put some sandy soil into the pot, pressed against the roots, then add the soil, firming it down as you fill, so that there are no gaps between the soil and the roots.

As you add soil, pat it down a little to make the soil firmer. After the succulent is potted, you must wait three days before watering, do not water it right away! All right, that's all for today's sharing. Thank you for watching, and see you next time!
