1. How long to water after potting

Generally, pots are planted in moist and humid soil, and the plants themselves will not lack water. You can wait for about seven days and add a small amount of water along the edge of the flowerpot to ensure that the surrounding area does not dry out and increase the humidity. But the amount of water must not be too much, just a little bit is enough. This method is conducive to the growth of roots, which makes it easier for the roots to penetrate down in the pot and absorb water.

2. When to water the second time

If during this period, the weather is very sunny, the climate is mild and dry, the water inside evaporates quickly, and the surrounding humidity is low, you can water it again after 3-5 days. However, the amount of water must still be controlled, not too much, because the root system has not yet grown well at the beginning, and excessive application of water will easily burden it, make it difficult to absorb, and even cause the roots to rot.

If the weather is not very good and it is always cloudy , evaporation is also very slow, so don’t rush to water. You can wait until about seven days to water again. This can also give the plant a buffering stage to adapt.
