All plants have a different time frames for when they mature out of their current pot, but most plants should be repotted in between 12 and 18 months. Though it’s ideal to repot your succulent plants every 12 to 18 months in order to keep it healthy, there are exceptions.
Also to know is, do I need to move my succulent to a bigger pot?
A general rule of thumb is to repot succulents every two-years, at least as a way to provide fresh fertile soil. The best time to repot is at the beginning of a succulent’s growing season – this gives the plant the highest chance of survival.
Then, how do you relocate succulents?
Simply snip off tops or ends of mature stems; the bare stems left on original plants will quickly sprout new stems. Allow the cut ends to dry and heal over a few days. When planting succulent cuttings, either wait a few days to insert into new soil or before watering those you plant immediately.
Do succulents like to be crowded?
As a rule, succulent plants do not mind crowding whether the plants are grouped in one container or are alone and fully filled out in the container. Transplanting a plant that has filled its container will generally allow the plant to experience a new spurt of growth.
How do you repot a new succulent?
Dig a shallow hole in the new soil, place your succulent in it, then gently cover the roots with more of the potting soil to stabilize the plant. Be sure to add enough to reach the base of the plant, but don’t cover any leaves or let the leaves rest on top of the soil!
How do you transplant small succulents?
How do you tell if your succulent needs a bigger pot?
When you turn your succulent over, do you see white roots crowding the pot’s drainage holes? If yes, then it’s time to repot your succulents. If your pot is wobbly because of roots poking through, then it’s most definitely time to repot!
What size pot is best for succulents?
Determining the pot size for your succulents’ healthy growth seems quite difficult. However, many professional gardeners recommend a container that is 10% larger in diameter than the width of your succulent. For instance, if your chubby green has a width of 4-inches, a pot with 4.5-inch diameter will be ideal for it.
