Let's talk repotting.... I must have screwed up my last soil mixture because it is retaining way too much moisture. I used both coco coir and potting mix by mistake! I have had several plants with root rot and now am in save the plant mode. If I repotted in the last month or two....can I reuse that soil (microwave sterile) and just add in more chunk, or is it better to throw away any used soil and start fresh? Thanks!

    I would lay it on something and put it in the sun. Good luck, go save your babies. If it is warm enough put the plants out in a shady and windy spot outside.

    Go ahead and use it if you’re confident in cleaning the old soil. I would start fresh to avoid carrying bacteria and fungus just in case the roots rotted and I missed something. The cost to replace the potting mix is usually cheaper than replacing a plant. 🪴🍀
