Will it hurt a small cactus to repot it deeper than it was?

Post by Glochid »

I have some San Pedros that I have grown from seed. They are about 2 years old now and maybe 3 inches at most. A few days ago I repotted them all because I could see their roots creeping out of the bottom of their pots. I accidentally re-potted one about a quarter to a half in inch deeper that it was previously. Will this cause any issues with rot? I don't want to disturb it if I don't have to of course.

So should I let it be or just try and get the dirt away from the base of the cactus?

Thanks
