About this, how to deal with the succulents that do not grow in autumn and which succulents need to be repotted in autumn, let's continue reading for some small experiences in plant cultivation!
The cool autumn has arrived, and many flower friends know that autumn is a good time to raise succulents. However, in fact, succulents need to be repotted in autumn to grow better. Some flower friends find that their succulents do not grow, which actually means that the old pot can no longer meet the growth of the succulents and needs to be repotted in time. How to do it specifically? Let Hua Hua explain it to you in detail.
I. Which succulents need to be repotted in autumn?
1. Succulents that do not grow
Autumn is actually a good time for succulents to grow. Many succulents enter a period of rapid growth. If the succulents at home do not grow, Hua Hua advises everyone to repot the succulents.
2. Succulents that are too large
After a year of growth, the size of the succulents is relatively large, and some small pots also affect the growth of the succulents. Therefore, we need to repot the succulents in time.
II. How to repot succulents?
1. Breathable potting soil
First, we need to choose a succulent potting soil with very good breathability. We can use soil with larger particles, such as volcanic rocks, coal slag, and coarse river sand that Hua Hua often uses. When using coal slag or tiles, flower friends must soak them in clear water to remove the fire before using them.

2. Unpot and prune roots
If you want to unpot the succulents, you must stop watering two weeks in advance. Then, use small tweezers to remove the withered leaves at the bottom of the succulents and cut off the parts where the roots are not growing well.
3. Disinfection
After pruning, immerse the succulents in a carbendazim solution to disinfect and reduce the invasion of pathogens. After soaking for 4 hours, place them in a shaded and well-ventilated environment to dry. This step should not be omitted by flower friends, as drying can prevent the invasion of pathogens.
4. Potting
When repotting succulents, it is best to use moist soil. Gently plant the roots, pressing the soil down while planting, and finally plant the succulent roots into the soil. Then place them in a shaded and well-ventilated environment to recover, and gradually transition to normal care.
