I repotted my bird of paradise because I suspected that I overwatered it, do I water it now because I repotted it or should I wait.

My opinion is water it, then keep a close eye on watering in the future

would you recommend bottom watering or top watering for the first water after i repotted it

#### Rebecca replied on 2024-03-07

I would bottom water it especially since it was already struggling from overwatering
