If the soil in which the plant is found is already correct and if I have decided to use the same type of soil for that plant, I simply shake the earth a little to free some roots and check that the root system is in good condition and does not contain parasites. <strong>It is essential that the new substrate is dry or, at most, slightly damp<\/strong>. Another important aspect deriving from the choice of the winter months for repotting is in fact this: until the end of March the plants will not receive water and the roots will have plenty of time to heal. Some injury to the secondary roots is almost inevitable during repotting and, in the event of a change of substrate with thorough cleaning of the root system (for example if the plant was in peat) it can easily happen to break or injure even the primary roots. Similarly, in the event of a total change of soil or a suffering plant, it may be necessary to drastically shorten the roots by cutting them. For all these reasons, winter repotting is preferable. This is a guideline, not a rule, though. In fact, <strong>cacti and succulents in general can be easily repotted even when they are in full vegetation<\/strong>, as well as when they are in bloom. In these cases, however, it is important to repot in dry soil and wait at least two or three weeks before watering, keeping the plant in a bright place but not in direct sunlight.<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wait_or_repot_immediately\"><\/span>Wait or repot immediately?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Many wonder if it is necessary, once a plant has been flared (in winter or in summer, the substance does not change), to <strong>leave it bare root for some time<\/strong> or if it can be repotted immediately. Let&#8217;s say that leaving the plant with the roots in the air, in a place sheltered from direct light, is certainly a good precaution. In this way we will be sure that any injuries or cuts to the roots will heal perfectly. From what I&#8217;ve learned, though, this step isn&#8217;t always necessary. If the plant is healthy and if the fleshy roots have not been injured or cut, you can repot immediately: time to remove the old substrate, check that there are no parasites among the roots, and repot in the new substrate. For years I have only allowed plants to dry for a few days in the case the root system has been affected by rot (in this case I also treat it with a powder fungicide) or those plants with major lesions to the primary roots or taproot.<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_examples\"><\/span>Some examples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>In recent weeks, as for years now, I have been dedicating myself to repotting my plants, in particular to repotting some of my sowings from 2017. These are mainly <em>Gymnocalycium<\/em> (<em>spegazzinii<\/em> and <em>ferox<\/em>), <em>Lobivia ferox, Thelocactus lloydii<\/em>. To these are added some of my sowings of <em>Ferocactus latispinus<\/em> already of a fair size, since these are plants born in 2010. All the plants are in perfect condition: the roots are healthy and well developed and the plants are robust and well formed. For my convenience and to help the growth of still young plants a little, for repotting I used a <a href=\"https:\/\/ilfioretralespine.it\/en\/repot-cactus-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>standard soil based on pumice, lapillus and peat in equal parts<\/strong><\/a>, to which I added 5% of fine sand.<\/p>\n<p>In these photos, here are some steps of the repotting procedures during winter.
