Aftercare Tips: Ensuring a Smooth Transition

Watering needs immediately after repotting

After repotting, water your Regal Geranium thoroughly but be cautious of overwatering. The first watering post-repotting should be generous to help settle the soil, but subsequent watering should be adjusted to prevent root rot. Wait until the top 2.5 cm (1 inch) of soil is dry before watering again.

Adjusting light and location for better adaptation

Place your newly potted Regal Geranium in a spot where it can receive indirect sunlight. Avoid direct harsh sunlight during the initial phase as it can stress the plant. Over the following weeks, gradually introduce more light as the plant shows signs of new growth and adaptation.

Monitoring your Regal Geranium for growth and health

Keep an eye on your Regal Geranium after repotting. Look for signs of new growth which indicate that the plant is settling well. Also, watch for any signs of distress like wilting or yellowing leaves. Regularly check the soil moisture level and adjust your care routine as needed.
