It’s not really necessary to do that but you can do it if it makes you feel better. ❤️ The water is still being held in the bottom of the pot and succulents want to dry out completely in between watering. I was taught to forgo any impedance to the drainage when I took my master gardener training but i had followed the advice of adding rocks until that time. Now i never use anything to slow the flow of water and i even make sure outdoor pots are elevated to allow full drainage.

I definitely don't think it's bad! This one had such fine little roots I decided not to disturb them. If you have well developed roots growing in a circle, then that definitely needs to be broken up and cut to stop the growing pattern. But this had such fine roots I didn't worry about it. I bought this from my good local nursery who grows all their own plants in their own greenhouse, so I am less likely to worry about anything being in the soil. Something from a box store, I might treat it a little different.

No drainage holes, tiny pot, glued on rocks, and crowded succulents. So I watered once a month (oof) and now one is root rotting I believe. I'm going to replant today and hope for the best.

Oh gosh. It's hard to save them once they start going. Honestly, I would harvest a couple of leaves from Jeremey and put them on the soil and let them root new plants. I'm going to be honest with you, I think succulents are difficult to keep. Unless you live in an area with their natural environment OR have a really nice system with indoor grow lights for the winter, I think they are incredibly difficult. My climate is not conducive to them, and I'm not willing to set up an indoor grow system for the dreary winters we have. So I essentially treat them as annuals now. I buy a couple of fresh ones in the spring and do a couple of plantings for the summer. And then change the plants the following year. I say this to reassure you that you are not a terrible gardener! These are difficult to keep, and I see so many people beating themselves up over them when they have trouble. So don't feel bad if you have trouble with them. It's honestly NOT you!! Regular house plants like pothos and even monstera is so much easier! I do have several plant videos if you go to my channel home page and search succulents or plants. I hope that helps you! And don't hesitate to get back in touch. Good luck!

I also stopped trying to keep any indoor succulents and switch to Hens and Chicks which is a Sempervivum and will grow outdoors in my climate year round. I make out door arrangements and leave them out. If they don't make it I just buy some new ones in the spring and replant.

I think it has more to do with drainage than soil. I don't even use perlite when I repot them. To be honest, they are difficult to keep unless you live in their native climate. I don't live in their native environment and have to bring them in every winter. They never get enough light, and I am not interested in doing grow lights all winter. I treat them as an annual at this point. It's hard to get good, healthy specimens where I live and getting through winter here is all but impossible. I switched to Hens and Chicks which can live outdoors here all winter and if I want one of these specialty succulents, I get it knowing it it's just for the warm season. If you feel like changing soil helps you, then I think you should do it. I'm not attached to them enough to go to all the extra work and expense for them anymore. Just keeping it real.

I have no idea what they are doing, Earl. I had my training with the Master Gardeners in my city, and that kind of thing was never discussed. The important thing for all plants is well draining soil, not overpacking the soil when repotting and not over watering, and proper light conditions and temperatures for the plant. Succulents like well drained soil and they should dry out in between watering. They generally like warm temperatures and high light. Though some varieties tolerate cold well. I have switched to the Hens and Chicks type of succulents so they can stay outside here all winter. They require almost no care, and that is a welcome change as I find the rest of them are constant work. Most varieties are not low maintenance, and I have been switching to lower maintenance plants the past year. I hope that helps!

If it's all stretched out, that's called etiolated. It means the plant is not getting enough light. They require a LOT of light. 10 hours a day of bright light, and that is impossible for me, personally, in my climate as we go into winter. I would require grow lights to keep mine healthy all winter, and that is not something I'm willing to do. You will have to cut off the plant to the top rosette and start it over. This is really a spring activity, but depending on your hemisphere, you may be going into that season. Here is a video I made on this situation.

If it's stretching out, then it's not getting enough light. You will need to chop off the top and re root the top to save the plant. If you are in an equatorial climate, then I would expect any time of year is fine to do this as your temperatures should remain pretty constant. But the plant needs more light. I would move it to an eastern facing direction and see how it does after you have cut and repotted the top. Good Luck!

@@iqasyahiraa2727 You're welcome!! I do hope it helps! And honestly, if it doesn't make it, you can always get a fresh one. I know people like to talk about how easy they are, but I think that depends completely on the variety. If you can get a variety called Hens and Chicks, I highly recommend them. They are so easy and live through anything with just about no care. I have switched to them and have been very happy. My climate has a mild winter, and they will live outside the whole time! This makes me so happy.

After repotting, how long till I'm allowed to water?

I would wait a day or two. Succulents are pretty resilient.

I’m so sad I just got home and my pretty pots don’t have holes :(

Oh gosh, that's always the way. Well you can always drill your own holes, or use air plants, or use good fakes. You can drop the nursery pots in and out of the decorative pot as well.

Can't you just drill a hole in the bottom of pots to create a drain hole ?
@PattymacMakes
@PattymacMakes 3 жыл бұрын
Sure you can! You just need to be sure the hole is the right size and you need to use the right drill bit and water. The pots can crack if you don't do it just right. I think it's a drill bit for tile that people use. There are videos on doing it, so search drilling holes in ceramic pots.

sounds like either over watering or underwatering. Are the leaves shriveled up or are they kind of clear looking?

I don't really know. I just use cactus soil if I have it on hand or potting soil if that's what I have. I don't get fancy with my potting medium.
