I got this little Echeveria for free from a large supermarket giving them away. It is obviously in very poor condition but I wanted to try to nurse it back to health. Ive grown many things but succulents are not one of them. Looking for advice on how I might give this little guy the best chance possible.
First obvious problem is they overwatered the crap out of them. Currently letting it dry out next to my Aerogarden so it gets plenty of light.
Im hesitant to stress it with a repot. Should I wait or risk doing it right away. It looks like they planted it directly in potting soil.
I would definitely repot it right away. The stress of repotting will be less than the stress of dying from root rot. Plus repotting new plants ASAP is to me pretty important so I can check root condition as well as get rid of any potential invasives in the nursery soil.
Got it. Should I keep it in a pot with the same general size or scale it down? Thanks for all the advice by the way!
No problem, happy to help! That pot size looks fine, as long as it has a drainage hole in the bottom.
