I just repotted all 5 of my plants. 🪴 My question is do I water them now or wait until the scheduled watering in 2 days? My soil tester says alls good water wise so just wondering. I don’t want to overwater.

If the calathea is more than 30% dry it might be good to water that one since they’re more sensitive to it, but I would personally try waiting until it’s time to do their normal watering for the others.

I like to first water thoroughly and wait 30 minutes for the soil to really loosen and for the roots to become softer/less likely to break. Then I repot and water thoroughly again. After that it’s just the normal watering schedule.

This is what I do too and have never regretted it.

I repoted my apricot and kumquat trees after purchase and watered them thoroughly even though I know they had been watered with a drip system at the nursery.
