worst idea ever!

Miracle Gro has changed a great product for the worse! What was once a one-step process of hydrating and feeding house plants is now a 2 step mess. The foam is awkward to apply to the base of a very leafy lush plant and 5 pumps if over 6 in. diameter pot?? Really? Then you have to water over the foam to get it into the soil. Ridiculous idea. Go back to the perfect product that worked so well for so many, many years. The large 32 oz liquid all-purpose food is okay, but can't be purchased as a concentrate in a smaller quantity for those that don't need to water a garden with it. Most folks don't need to mix 2 gallons of plant food at a time and storing it or figuring out the way to mix a smaller quantity.
Cons: Messy, Didn't work as expected, Difficult to use, extra steps involved, runs out quickly so expensive
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to apply.
Good, quick results on my ferns and corn plants.
On the trailing jade succulent plant it works a little slower but it's just now looking greener & healthier.

Can't afford this product!
on September 17, 2019
Posted by: SueNOW

Expertise:Expert
I just read the reviews, and they are talking about a foam. I just purchased this pump bottle, and it is just a liquid. My watering can is 4 quarts plus. At 16 pumps per can, I will have to use a whole bottle each week. That is way too much money. I was using the blue powder, but that seemed to absorb water from the air and was therefore hard to measure. I loved the bottle that you just needed to squeeze out a few drops per watering can. Change is not always an improvement!
Pros: Easy to Use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bad Idea

I have been using your liquid houseplant food, that you mix with water, for over 30 years. Loved it! Went to buy more recently and couldn't find it. Found the pump version. I couldn't even open the pump to make it work! Defective! I will be returning it today and getting a refund. Sad that Miracle Grow changed a nice product that didn't need fixing! Bring back the old style bottle please!!!
Cons: Difficult to use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been using the old Miracle-Gro drops for 25 years or more with absolute success. Despite using according to directions this new product has actually killed some of my plants that have thrived for years. The plants that are still alive look so sad. Please just bring back the old drops.

I do not like the pump on the indoor and violet plant food. I'm not sure why there was a change. the liquid was easy to use and I always had Great results. The pump is not easy nor am I having good results. Is there anyway I can obtain the liquid plant food?
