When I repot my succulents it’s so relaxing .Watching your channel and your sweet voice is really calming.❤️

Would love to see a video on worm castings for succulents as I had always heard that wasn’t appropriate for succulents! Thanks!

[@Succulentsandsunshine]

Awesome! We just had a workshop all about them in our Succulent Lovers Club you can watch too: succulentsandsunshine.com/yt-club

What soil do you use?

[@Succulentsandsunshine]

I use a "gritty mix" from Bonsai Jack: succulentsandsunshine.com/bonsaijack You can see more about what I recommend and why I use it here: succulentsandsunshine.com/yt-mainsoil

I have a similar plant, but i didn't know its name. I thought ot was a crassula, but you say it's a sedum?? What's the difference? Thanks

[@Succulentsandsunshine]

Crassula and Sedum are both types of succulents, but a different genus. The care for them will be similar, but some varieties may prefer more or less water. This page shows each Genus and you can click through for more details about each one: succulentsandsunshine.com/yt-typesofsuccs

When you took the plant out of the pot, what would happen if you just put the whole plant in a deeper pot, with new soil around it instead of breaking all the old soil off? Also, I would like to see these when they start growing.

[@Succulentsandsunshine]

If I used soil similar to the original, repotting that way should work. However, I still find it's typically best to loosen up the roots. Since I'm using a gritty soil, it's important to loosen up and remove as much of the original soil as possible. If I didn't, there's a good chance the old soil wouldn't get wet all the way through.

[@heathersterling6165]

My question is - why didn't you water them after you planted them?

[@Succulentsandsunshine]

After messing with the roots they're more prone to rot. I like to wait a day and let the roots heal/scab and then water. It's not always a problem, but I've had better success that way

I’ve been growing succulents for 6 years. But all of a sudden they’re looking a bit rubbish and not growing. Am I missing something like “they need repotting!” Or something? HELP. Rather than growing and thriving they’re getting smaller

[@susanlisson7066]

If you’ve had them in the same pot for 6 years you have to lift them out & remove the old soil just like what was done in this video or they will never grow well. I’ve kept succulents in the same pot for more than 2 years in the past and they will stop growing because it ends up just a ball of roots like what was shown in the video. Depending on the plant you could divide them up or just repot it as it is but you must replace the old soil. I hope this helps. 😊

[@Succulentsandsunshine]

I was going to comment the same thing as Susan. It could be the roots are too cramped and/or that your succulents aren't getting enough nutrients. Repotting and fertilizing would both be good options.
