About This Product

Cultivate a beautiful array of outdoor container plants with Miracle-Gro Potting Mix, the perfect garden soil for containers formulated to provide essential plant nourishment to all your outdoor potted plants. Ideal for gardeners gearing up for spring planting or as part of their regular care routine throughout the growing season, this potting soil mix is great for vegetables, herbs, annual flowers, perennials, roses, and shrubs. To use this container soil for vegetables and flowers, simply select a pot with a drainage hole and fill it about 1/3 full with potting soil. Gently loosen the root ball of your plant, place it in the center of the pot, and add more potting mix around the roots, pressing lightly to level the surface. Water your plant thoroughly, allow it to drain, and always refer to your plant tags for specific sun and shade requirements. To keep your plants thriving, let the mix dry to the touch between waterings, ensure they never sit in excess drainage water, and repot annually or as needed with fresh Miracle-Gro to prevent soil compaction and replenish vital nutrients.

Customer Reviews Summary

I wasn’t sure how fast this stuff could actually work, but I found out the other day when I had to figure out a temporary rescue technique for some plants that had been roughed around in the mail and needed support while I waited for their new pots to arrive. I put some of this potting mix in temporary containers and set the two inch pots down into it, being careful not to put soil any deeper than it had been in their pots. I moistened the potting mix first so I could avoid overwatering. The plants perked up within hours and the tallest one stopped leaning and stood straight up! I had some problems with the chemical smell, but that faded by the end of the day. This rescue attempt kept my roughed up two inch plants healthy and safe until I was able to transplant them into larger pots. All of the two inch plants I had ordered transplanted easily with this potting mix and the chemical odor faded gradually. I moistened it as I added it to the pots, a little at a time. The plants all look great, which is actually a miracle for me because I have never had much luck keeping indoor plants healthy. My outdoor plants and flowering shrubs love me, but tropical plants usually hate me. I’m trying to change this and it’s working so far. I’ve been using the organic potting mix to grow vegetable seeds and only one seed died so far because I didn’t water it in time. I’m impressed with the potting mixes so far. I also bought some of the expanding mix, but I haven’t tried that yet. It sounds like fun. Any potting mix that keeps a tropical plant alive in my house is miraculous, so this stuff deserves high praise. I wouldn’t use the non-organic type on vegetables but they have more than one organic choice for vegetables. They’re worth trying. I like the indoor one so far and I plan to try the outdoor kind soon.
