Repot as needed , rather during the warm time of year . To repot a succulent , ensure the soil is dry before repotting , then gently remove the grass . pick apart away the old dirt from the root , removing any decayed or dead roots . plow any cuts with a fungicide . Place the plant in its new raft and backfill it with pot soil , spreading the root as you repot . go away the plant life dry for a week or so , then begin to piddle lightly to trim back the risk of root rot .
