I cut and replanted Bruce today, hoping that he will take root and grow again. So, I need to wait a couple more days to water him? I feel like he is going to dry out; however, I'm not a plant expert, which is obvious. Will Bruce take root again in dry soil?

Any special tips on watering that you can give me? I read something about watering with a mixture of vinegar and water. What do you recommend? And how often to water? And how much?

The reason for the wait is that with most succulents, when a fresh cut is made the cut edge needs time to callous. Enough time to callous depends on the diameter of the cut edge. Your stem looks pretty thin and so will callous faster.

@victoria12 , Come on over to the Hens and Chicks (Sempervivum) forum and you will get all the advise you can use and more.

In a couple of days you can use a spray bottle of water and mist the top of the soil just enough to dampen the surface. You don't want to over water it.

Okay, just to make sure, Bruce sat outside of the soil on a paper towel for 2 days, then I cut him and placed him in a pot today. So I should give it another 2 days, then water him? He will have time to callous over and hopefully re-root by then?

Sorry for all the questions.

You can mist the surface of the soil. I would not mist Bruce though.
Would you take photos as the days go by? It might help some one else that runs into this same problem.

Here is an updated photo of him after cutting and replanting. I hope I didn't plant him too deep. He's super small now.

What kind of mix did you use to plant him? Ideally it should be a very well draining mix. Everyone has different ideas, but I like a cactus mix, and then I mix in about 50% pumice or perlite.

I'm honesty not sure. It was a bag of potting soil at my house. I put a layer of rocks along the bottom to help with draining. Do I need to change it?

Well, I'll let the experts weigh in, but drainage is really important for semps, and putting rocks in the bottom really doesn't do much to help the drainage. Your mix might work if you can restrain yourself from overwatering and leaving the soil too wet. That soil would be fine if you mixed in some perlite, pumice or very coarse sand. Fine play sand doesn't work.

I love to water, and tend to over do it, so I've taken to using Cactus mix with the extras mixed in for almost all of my plants. I do it for the semps, cacti, but also for my tropicals and other flowers. It saves me from rotting and drowning plants!

Victoria, plantmanager's advice is very good. What I see in your potting soil is all forest product (wood). Remember these plants are alpine plants and like a very fast draining rocky mix. It would be great if you could replant it soon.
