HOW TO REPOT SUCCULENTS! Repotting and Saving Succulent Plants for Beginners + Repotting Tips!

I will show you how to repot your succulent plants! Whether you just need to go up a pot size or your succulent isn't looking too good and you need to do some major work on it, this video can help!

First I give you a few tips to keep in mind when repotting succulents and then we do two different types of succulent repotting together.

TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND

DRAINAGE HOLES - Make sure to use a pot with a drainage hole. Succulents can get root rot really easily so we need to make sure that water doesn't hang out around the roots and instead can flow quickly and freely away from the roots. One of the best ways to make sure of this is to have drainage holes.

GRITTY SOIL - Make sure to give your plants gritty and well draining soil to make sure water doesn't stay stagnant around the roots. (I have a full video on soil mixes, so check that out if you have questions about this.)

TERRACOTTA POTS - Terracotta pots can be a great choice for succulents because, rather than a plastic or ceramic pot that holds more moisture, terracotta is porous and breaths, helping to regulate the moisture in the soil. If there is too much water in the soil, a terracotta pot will help pull that out and evaporate the excess moisture.
