House plants love Miracle Grow Potting Mix

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm notorious for potting in my house; anywhere in my house. This bag is small enough and the potting mix soft and easy to handle. I wasn't sure because I don't have many house plants now. I used this to pot the propagating red maple trees, and the micro tomatoes that I started in Aerogarden. One great benefit is that the mix is labeled to feed up to 6 months. This mix contains less of the materials (compost/bark) that breed fungus gnats. I despise fungus gnats.

Fungus! Holds too much moisture
on October 22, 2021
Posted by: rlevy
I got Miracle-Gro to repot a large plant that was getting too big for her previous pot. For the first couple weeks she seemed to be doing well (and even getting greener!). Unfortunately, after about a month in, the new soil started to grow fungus and the fungus spread throughout the soil! I was only watering the plant every 4-5 days with moderate amount of water (the same I was doing with previous soil). The mold anf fungus has taken over the soil.. I am now seeing that other reviews are also noting that this soil holds too much moisture and grows fungus. Wish I had seen them before purchasing this product. Although it seemed to be working well for the plant at first, it has caused me more trouble in the long run, because now I have to deal with getting rid of fungus and repotting with new soil. I definitely do not recommend Miracle-Gro.
Cons: Didn't work as expected
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Rievy, we're sorry to hear this happened after using Miracle-Gro Indoor Potting Mix. Mold and fungal spores are a natural part of soils. Allowing the soil to dry out as much as possible between waterings will help control it. Reach out to us here for assistance with our product guarantee: https://tinyurl.com/y9nlw5xl

Good product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We repotted our house plant. It took a little time for the plant to take off after repotting, but then it has done really well. I think it might have been in shock since it was so root bound. Should have taken a picture.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective
I would recommend this to a friend!

Horrible product

I re-potted my peace Lilly that I have had for 15 years in this potting mix and it started to kill my plant. The soil retains way too much moisture. I re-potted it again in a different potting mix and it is doing well. I thought it was just that plant that didn't like the soil and since I had some left over, I planted a newer plant in it. Same thing. It started dying. I re potted it in another potting mix and it is doing great. This is a bad product. I don't recommend it and will never buy it again.
Cons: Didn't work as expected

The jury is still out....

I transplanted 2 of my houseplants. After 3 weeks, ivy seems to have slight growth. Of course, location and soil mean everything. While, you need to be mindful not to over water, especially with this "soil". I consider myself a seasoned gardener, and I know when to water my plants, I wasn't expecting MUSHROOMS growing from my large Schefflera. And I slight scent of mold, as well. There is new growth on this plant, and after getting rid of those mushrooms twice, I haven't experienced that again. We'll see how well my plants do, the jury's still out...
Cons: Didn't work as expected, Bad Odor
Pros: Easy to Use

Holds moisture and infested with fungus gnats
on March 29, 2021

I’ve tried several different types of Miracle Gro potting mix, including this one. Regardless of how seldom I water my plants, the soil holds moisture to the point that mold forms and I get fungus gnats. I use filtered water and still no difference. I keep repotting my beautiful plant babies, only to experience the same thing. I’ve used insecticide soap and Bonide on the plants and soil consistently. Repotting hasn’t helped. I wonder if the fungus gnats are in the soil.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not happy with current purchase.

I have nothing but house plants so I only purchase miracle grow indoor formula as I have for years. But this last batch is really disappointing, I needed to top off and repot some plants. It looks and works totally different from past result's. In the past the soil was rich a little heavier and darker in color almost black in color, like miracle grow potting soil I purchased in the past. I'm not sure if this was reformulated but this last bag I purchased is awful . It's more of a brown hue, dried out dust, it reminds me of shredded coconut exterior, very strange mix , I've had a mix similar to this when I had tropical plants that needed well draining soil, but I no longer need that type of soil because my other plants like moist soil, this house plant formula no longer works for my plants as it gets dried out within a day or so. Unfortunately the plants that I reported died. Never had that happen with miracle grow indoor formula, never purchasing indoor formula again.
Cons: Didn't work as expected
Pros: Good Directions, Easy to Use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
