# So I decided to change out the soil on my cactus and completely clean…

_Publicado por Miranda el 2024-03-17_

So I decided to change out the soil on my cactus and completely clean it up….

I found thankfully really healthy roots and was able to separate her out…there were a very few pieces though that looked like it rotted out.

My question is should I give her a deep watering now? Or should I just wait until the next time planta says to water her. Her soil was a little moist when I was changing out her soil.

She looks really pathetic now because my kitten got into her and lost some branches during her change. 😭😭😭 I just don’t want to lose her

Leave it be for 1-2 days, then water lightly. That should help a bit.

Thank you for your response!

She’s beautiful! I think she’ll perk up after a few days. Those plants bounce back pretty well, in my experience
