The soil composition has changed. Do not buy

I purchase a bag of Cactus soil about a month ago. I've already seen damage to multiple plants because this is no longer Cactus soil. As others have mentioned, there is no perlite or bark pieces, and the soil now remains and stays very moist. I've purposely left open the bag now for 2 weeks and it will not dry out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought the Succulent Plant Food and have had it for awhile. I don't see an expiration date on the bottle. What is the shelf life of this product? Thanks

Excellent results: saved dozens of plants!

I'm so happy to find this product! I was about ready to dump my sickly looking succulents & bought a bottle of this... immediately I could see results, including flowers on plants I'd never seen bloom before. Will continue to fed my succulents this easy to use fertilizer. My only wish is that I could buy a large refill for the small spray bottles.
I would recommend this to a friend!

GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This mix is infused with mushroom spores. I've had to pull mushrooms multiple times from my aloe plant. I'm very upset about that.

Do Not Buy
on December 1, 2024

I bought this mix to repot my succulents, but it looks like your regular potting mix without the nutrients (NPK 6-2-4). Additionally, it is too heavy for succulents---I had to add bark and perlite to get a mix that would drain adequately. Please fix this or take it off the market. This is not a good product for succulents and I won't be purchasing it again--it was a waste of money. I'll dump my remaining bags in the garden and add amendments.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

All My Succulents Took a Shine to This!

Seriously, glossy leaves on my Christmas cactus.
But I am writing about the bottle - there is a cap on the tip of the nozzle. Unsnap it and the liquid comes out just fine. I am surprised the response from Miracle-Gro did not include this information.

The Jade plants and Snake plant I used it on either didn't improve or died. I followed the instructions.
Cons: Didn't work as expected
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
