'Spent' soil for succulents?
Hi there succy fam!
Has anyone used old, spent soil for planting succulents? I'm getting ready to repot this particular plant, which is NOT a succulent, because the soil is super old (3-4 years maybe), doesn't retain water hardly at all, and is very loose and dusty even when I water this guy every few days. I water this particular plant with a squeeze tube thingy so it gets watered slowly actually absorbing the water versus dumping a bunch of water at once and having it roll down the sides due to hydrophobia. I'd love to save some $$ on succulent mixes by using this on future succulent plantains, mixed with a little bit of grit and adding a scant amount of regular succ soil. I don't want to take a chance if anyone has tried this and had problems. Any insights are deeply appreciated!
