# Hi all, so I had repotted my Persian shield. Just got it about a week…

_Posted by LJ on 2025-04-15_

Hi all, so I had repotted my Persian shield. Just got it about a week ago. There were 3 plants in one repot so it was a little tight so I repotted last night. First picture is from before I repotted the plant. Second one is last night after repotting and the last picture is from this morning. Note I did not water the plants after repotting. I repotted a lot of my plants last night cause I had mold on the top soil and realized that a lot of my plants soils were too compact so they weren’t draining well. I had scrapped off the bad soil and let it sit with cinnamon for a day or so but when repotting, I used the same soil cause it was wet. Should I still water it? If so, how can I water it without completely overwatering like last time. I had bottom watered it a 4 days prior

These have sensitive fragile roots. If you split them up, the roots probably got damaged. :( they’re also very thirsty plants so always water after repotting.
