As time gradually passes, autumn is almost over in the blink of an eye, and winter is about to arrive. During this period there is a lot we can do, such as repotting succulents. After growing for a long time, the succulents have also grown a lot, and the previous pots may no longer be able to hold their plump bodies, so moving them to a new environment is unavoidable. But how do you repot a succulent? Below let us take a look at the methods and steps for repotting succulents.

Reasons for repotting succulents

Generally speaking, when we first start growing succulents, the plants we choose are very small, because we enjoy the process of growing plants. So the succulents we buy are often small pots or small-sized succulents, and during the growing process, these cute little succulents gradually become stronger and plumper as time passes, and the previous pots or containers can no longer hold their increasingly strong bodies, so they must be given a larger living environment and fresh, fertile new soil.

Methods and steps for repotting succulents

1. Prepare a suitable pot and new soil

The important reason for repotting succulents is that the pot is too small, so to repot them, the first thing to do is to choose a new pot one size larger. When choosing a pot, pay attention to its water permeability and size specifications; it cannot be too large, and one suitable for the current size of the succulent is enough. At the same time, prepare an appropriate amount of new soil suitable for growth. The new soil must be loose and breathable, have good drainage, and have a certain level of fertility support. Succulents are very afraid of waterlogging, so the water permeability of the new soil and pot must be good.

2. Specific repotting steps

① Take the succulent out of the previous pot, and be careful when removing it so as not to damage the succulent's roots. After taking the plant out, wash the plant with clean water. When washing, all the old soil on the plant's roots must be rinsed off, and then to make the roots look attractive, the roots can also be properly trimmed with scissors.

② If the plant's roots are accidentally damaged during removal, after washing with clean water, a prepared disinfectant solution can be used to disinfect and sterilize the plant's roots. Agents similar to carbendazim or chlorothalonil can be used, and then let them dry.

③ Take out the new soil and pot bought from the store, and spray a disinfectant agent inside the pot to sterilize it. Then put the new soil beside it into the pot, an appropriate amount is enough, not too much. Then carefully plant the air-dried succulent into this pot, and then use new soil to cover the surface of the succulent with a thin layer of soil.

④ Finally, gently press the soil with your hands so that the new soil tightly surrounds the plant. Then, if necessary, spray some fungicide on the surface of the soil, on the one hand to make the soil moist, and on the other hand to make the plant healthier.

Summary: The work of repotting succulents is actually very easy to do. The hardest part is the process of taking the plant out. The technique must be gentle, and you must not damage the plant's roots. The same goes for planting.
