How fun. This is one of the reasons I so much enjoy growing succulents... you often get so many MORE plants from the mother plant. (Just gave one away yesterday!) I've often tossed out the old Gritty Mix when re-potting thinking any nutrients in the Gritty Mix were probably used up. Is that true? Hope you had a productive trip to the "other" Washington! Thanks!
You're definitely right that most of the nutrients are gone. My current approach is mixing in some worm castings when I reuse old soil. I hadn't started when I recorded this video, but that is my plan moving forward.

I've never thought about root stress when repotting succulents. Great tip, thanks!
I love to watch you repot succulents! ❤ Thanks so much!
Love watching your tidy methods! I make such a mess!!🙃
It only took me 10 years to figure it out 😆
What kind of soil are you using?
I use a gritty soil mix from Bonsai Jack. You can get more details about it here:

@@Succulentsandsunshine Thanks for the reply. Where is Bonsai Jack?
