Succulents can become overgrown and root bound after a couple years of healthy growth. You can improve their appearance by lightly trimming the foliage, repotting them into a larger container with fresh soil, and ensuring light conditions and soil nutrients are optimal.
- Pulling from the base of the stem, gently remove all plants from the old container
- Fill the new, larger pot partly with a gritty, well-draining soil like a cactus / succulent potting mix
- Prune back any undesired leaves with a clean pair of scissors or pruning shears and arrange the plants in the new pot
- Fill the pot the rest of the way with soil
- Optional: cover the soil surface with a top dressing
- Place in the Recommended Light Conditions (see succulent product page)
- Leave dry 1-3 days, water deeply, then wait for soil to dry completely before re-watering
