Ways to Reuse Potting Soil. The easiest way to reuse old potting mix? Simply remove old plants from their containers, fluff up the soil and replant. If you've reused the same soil for several years or it's developed a white surface crust, you may have to cut it with 50 percent new potting soil and/or apply fertilizer.
2. Prepare the container for the new plant. Fill a small pot or other container with either potting soil or a soil-less potting mix. Potting mix, a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite, will generally yield better results for potted plants because of its superior drainage. In a pinch, you could also use soil from your garden outside.
