I personally repot immediately so I can check for pests and see how the root health is. Plus sometimes the soil they come in isn’t the best.

I think a lot of people give them time to acclimate to their new environment, but I’ve never had any issues!

I gave it time and once it was time to water… the soil was holding way too much moisture so I repotted it into chunkier soil.
