FAQ About Indoor Plant Reuse and Recycling Practices

What should I do with potting soil when I repot a plant?
When repotting a plant, you can reuse the potting soil by mixing it with fresh soil to rejuvenate its nutrient content. If the soil is excessively depleted or you're dealing with a disease-prone plant, it may be better to discard it in the compost pile. Alternatively, old potting soil can be used as a base layer in the bottom of larger outdoor planters or mixed into garden beds.
