next watering ? to be on the safe side - after this first watering - skip any watering for at least 50 days ...unless plant is outside, under full sun and night lows are above 50° -
right now...and the foreseeable future, it is too cool for saturation watering
I would for sure add more chunky material to your mix ....as is, your soil will hold too much water - and not allow much of it drain off - that in itself will promote root root ....
a chunky + gritty mix I have used for years
2 Part: Coconut Coir -
1 Part: Poultry Grit (chicken grit) /or Pea Gravel
1 Part: Perlite - coarse
1 Part: Sand - coarse Builder's Sand, or Leveling Sand, or Horticultural Sand (sift out fine silt)
1 Part:: Lump Charcoal - Break-up (crush larger pieces) (sift out fine silt)
1 Part: Lava-rock – (volcanic cinders or pumice) (crush larger pieces) (sift out fine silt)
my plants have new growth as we speak ...but it is still too early to haul them outside ... as the next few nights are predicted to be in upper 30's and low 40's ...
the last time I watered was Feb 12 (just before the deep freeze & 6" of snow) ....
my next watering - at 50 days - is April 3 ..
plants are doing fine ...the caudex on all plants are firm ...alls good
