Watering seedlings after potting on .... question

Post by el48tel »

How long should you leave Haworthia seedlings after potting on, before you can water them?
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

About a couple of minutes as long as they have a reasonable root system and didn't need pulling apart when potting them.

I usually wait a day or two and had no casualties, so going down to minutes is tempting!

I have a mixture of good through mediocre for roots. So a couple of days?
