Question about transplanting..

[StonyGeoff]

I have just transplanted my babies into their final (large) pots for flowering. I'm using a medium of about 50% organic soil/compost and 50% perlite. I watered them this morning so they were nice and wet when I repotted them this afternoon.

Do I need to saturate the medium or will it be fine if I just leave it? Being mostly organic material, the medium is fairly moist anyway..

Cheers

You never want your medium saturated.

LOL ok moose you're right about that I should've used a different word..

Is it necessary to water the medium when transplanting? I'm not going to this time because I don't see any reason to, but if anyone can give me a reason TO water then I will

 

[Smokin Moose]

Water the plant just before transplanting, and water it in to settle the plant, but only enough to end up with a moist overall medium.
