It is a huge job to get house plants back inside! And then you need to know where the best light levels are for each variety. I'm so glad I have a small attached greenhouse and I can regulate the supplemental lighting to keep them blooming all winter. Even so, I donate a lot of my excess plants to the master gardeners for their spring sale, and take cuttings to give away to friends.
I have only succulents to bring in but a lot, I’m overwhelmed thinking what I need to do just now. Any easier way of doing this besides doing all of your suggestions. I think if I have only a few I can do this.
Eliza, if you have to tackle a bigger project or have many plants, try just scraping the top of the soil of the plants, looking for pests, and wiping the outside of the pots of your succulents-you’re taking out the risk of most of the pests that live in the soil that way. You can also spray a pet-safe pesticide that you can get from your local garden store to further reduce the risk of pest infestation. Succulents aren’t as prone to fungus gnats and other pests, simply because they prefer drier soils. So you’ll probably be fine. Try just moving a few plants in at a time, because any big job, tackled in ‘manageable bites’ is best! Good luck!
Beautiful Garden ♥️
I am in zone 8b.. our frost date is not close but I cleaned repotted many today.. thanks for the video!

Thanks. I know the pots are big and can be heavy.
You could also consider taking cuttings to grow in a different pot inside then bringing out again next year.
How are you
