Too many mushrooms
on March 4, 2025
Posted by: Roomus igloomus
Gender:Male
Expertise:Intermediate
I bought a bag of the MG cactus mix a couple months ago and started a few Christmas cactus plants. Retains moisture yet drains well but, I have never seen so many mushrooms in a potting soil mix. A disappointing surprise. I’m spending too much time picking mushrooms
Cons: Didn't work as expected
Pros: Easy to Use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

False advertising
on June 2, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
Gender:Male
Expertise:Expert
This “well draining soil” holds onto too much water, making it a poor choice for cacti, palm, and citrus. I’d say that makes this false advertising
Cons: Bad Odor, Problem with label
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My poor Wife has had no luck with house plants. She either gives too much water or not enough. She was given a big Christmas cactus from her sister in a short time their wasn't much left. In the short time using this plant food we are see new shoots and the plant is starting to show signs of coming back.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, Good Directions, Quality, Value

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Jade was looking a little "listless." Now it seems to have "perked up!" It seems to actually be Green-er if that's possible! I am continuing to use this product and have also started the cactus on it. I am very pleased with this product and will continue to sue it!
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, Good Directions
