I just repotted my plants into a bigger container with new potting soil, should I immediately give it a full watering or a little bit of water?

I little bit of water is what I would do to give them water in the soil to be wet. It’s what I would do weather I’m right or not I don’t know.

I typically give it a full watering! But PlantyAnn is right to be careful with root rot repotting! And being careful of shock, especially with more sensitive plants. My healthy plants have never gone into shock when repotting and watering this way:)

I generally wait until it’s time to water then repot so I guess I water right away! Lol
