How long can succulents be exposed to the sun after being potted (lighting tips for newly potted succulents)

Now more and more flower lovers are no longer blindly raising succulents. Today we will discuss how long it takes for succulents to be exposed to the sun after being potted. In fact, this involves a process of slowing down the growth of seedlings. If the slowing down of the growth of seedlings is not good, the succulents will wither directly.

Can newly planted succulents be exposed to the sun?

There is no exact time for how long succulents can be exposed to the sun after being potted. Generally speaking, succulents can be exposed to the sun about a week after being placed in the pot.

Place it in a cool environment within two or three days after potting. On the third or fourth day, you can move it to a window or under the shade of a tree with weak scattered light. After about 7 days, you can increase the sunlight appropriately every day, but avoid direct exposure to the sun.

In short, the succulents that have just been repotted should not be sunbathed directly in a sunny place , but should be sunbathed step by step. Let's briefly talk about the process of putting succulents in pots.

Succulent plant repotting steps

① Cleaning old soil

For new succulents, we first clean the old soil from the root system. You can move the roots back and forth in the pot . When you see white roots, it is not recommended to rinse them with a tap.

② Root pruning

After washing off the old soil, we can properly repair the roots and cut off some withered roots. If we think the roots are healthy and cannot be cut off, then the next step is disinfection. Flower lovers who have the conditions can use potassium permanganate, carbendazim, thiophanate-methyl, etc. to soak in water.

③ Dry the roots

Then put the succulent plants in a cool place to dry, don't think the roots are wet for too long, generally about 2 hours will do . Then put them in the pot, the succulent plants do not need to be watered after the pot.

What needs to be explained here is that if the soil we use in the pot is liquid soil and the moisture content is not very high, if we place the succulents in scattered places, the seedlings will not move during the slow growth process.

④Watering after repotting

This is also important, when it is not there, after about a week, you can water , slowly give light, and then slow down the process of seedlings.

If the soil is dry, you can spray a little water, or a little water along the edge of the basin to keep the soil in the basin a little moist.
