This is the worst product!!

I repotted several plants with this mix. They're all doing terribly. This mixture holds too much water, the leaves of my plants are turning yellow. It also attracted a small army of flies while I was repotting! Awful! The plants were doing beautifully before, I hope I can still save them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry to hear about your experience when using Miracle-Gro Indoor Potting Mix. This soil is formulated to allow excessive water to move through the soil and drain out the bottom of the pot. Make sure your pot has drainage holes and they are not clogged. At your convenience, please contact us to see what we can do to help. We can be reached at 888-295-6902.

Seems like a good soil. However...

I repot my monstera with 50/50 this and orchid mix. I watered it once and little over a week later i pulled the plant out because it still seemed quite wet, and root rot. All over the outside of the root ball. I'm in shock. Either this or the orchid bark may be contaminated with fungus. I'd sterilize any miracle gro soil in the oven before use.
Cons: Didn't work as expected, Bad Odor
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We were sorry to hear that you had this experience with our Miracle Gro Indoor Potting Mix. Our Orchid Mix is specifically for Orchids, so it is not recommended to mix with other soils.

Terrible Product
on September 12, 2020

Expertise:Intermediate
I repotted 5 of my plants. My plant that I have had for 6 years died 2 weeks after it was repotted. The other plants were fine but 3 weeks later 3 of my other plants started dyeing. It is this indoor soil. After reporting them with a different soil, they are fine. There is something wrong with your ratios for this product!
Cons: Didn't work as expected
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from Miracle-GroBy Agent, Consumer Service, September 15, 2020
We are sorry to hear of the issues you encountered with Miracle-Gro Indoor Potting Mix. Damage may be a result of transplant shock. We recommend a watering program of 1/2" of water every 2 to 3 days. Follow this watering plan for at least 3 weeks following the application. Most plants will recover given time. We want you to be confident about our products. We offer a guarantee that extends to all of our products. If this interests you, we ask that you contact us at https://tinyurl.com/y9nlw5xl.

Do not buy

I just sent for a refund on all this company products I bought last year because the fungus gnat problem their soils have is out of control. When you open the bag they swarm out and your lovely horticulture habit becomes a nightmare every time you water or repot.
Cons: Didn't work as expected
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from Miracle-GroBy Agent, Consumer Services, August 31, 2022
We're sorry to hear about your experience with fungus gnats in your Miracle-Gro Indoor Potting Mix. Our soils contain organic materials that can attract insects during shipping and storage. Allowing the soil to dry out as much as possible before use and between waterings will help control them. Reach out to us here for assistance with our product guarantee: https://www.miraclegro.com/en-us/help-center
