Standard stuff
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soil is pretty standard stuff. It gets the job done but I wouldn’t say there is anything extra impressive about it. I would recommend it but not necessarily over a different brand.

Best yet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Late review but I’m a person who likes to make sure my plants were not going to die. I’ve purchased potting soils before that were messy and then put my plants in and they died. Back to the Roots is amazing the soil isn’t messy and is very light a fluffy. Anyone who’s purchased a regular bag of potting soil knows what I’m talking about. So easy to use and my plants that I’ve transferred are thriving.

I cannot pickup an order as I am home bound. I only can receive orders by delivery. I was unable to change the pick up or drive up back to delivery. Would it be possible to change?

Great quality, my plants love it!
I’m really impressed with this potting mix. It’s light, airy, and doesn't seem to compact easily, which is exactly what my houseplants need. I love that it includes coconut coir and mycorrhizae—it feels much more "premium" than standard big-brand soils. My plants have already started showing new growth!

Great soil and great value
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this Back to the Roots soil. It works well for my ZZ plants and my pothos. It’s very affordable. It’s easy to use and seems to be a universal mix for all plant types. There’s no pesticide odor and it is a nice soft soil. . I have purchased the past and will likely repurchase. I recommend

Price Matched: Soil & Cinnamon
I’m new to the plant hobby and I read the reviews on this soil. While in target l, another customer sad she had great experience with her indoor plants using This soil. She also recommended buying a bottle of cinnamon to control gnats and it worked! This was the last bag on the shelf and it was priced higher in the store than online $6.99, which the cashier honored.

Excellent
Great indoor container soil. It stays fluffy and doesn't compact hard like peat-based soils do. Drains quickly and easily. At first I thought the bag was moldy when I opened it but upon looking closer it was only the high coconut coir and sand content. I unfortunately have fungus gnats in a different pot of a plant with the wrong soil, but the gnats won't go near this Back to the Roots mix. I mixed some extra orchid bark in it and repotted a Pothos and White Bird of Paradise and they like it. They've put out new leaves. Good soil.

Indoor potting soil
Small amount for how much you pay, but overall it’s a good quality organic soil if you just need to fill a few small indoor pots.

Sandy organic soil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I repotted my plant in this soil. It has visible sand in it to help drainage and is organic. I am looking forward to planting some more plants in this.

Indoor Plant Love
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this Back to Roots indoor potting mix to replant my hypoestes plants. One thing I like about the mix is that it’s an organic mixture and doesn’t contain chemical salts, which if it did contain could build up in the soil and would require flushing out on occasion. The mix contains coco coir which helps to maintain moisture in the soil for plants that require it. In the picture you can see that the soil is mixed with crushed perlite that aids in aerating the soil for root health. My hypoestes plants are healthy and growing. I will be using this mix to repot my monstera, too.

Great for my indoor plants.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soils has a clean appearance and practical features that support indoor plants well. Its durability helps maintain structure over time, and it offers good value for organic use. My recommendations are to loosen it before use and monitor watering. This size bag is good to set up your indoor plants.

Seems like a decent mix
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This a potting mix aimed at indoor plants. At least right now it seems decent. It is a I guess looser soil mix, light and airy sort of compared to other indoor mixes I have used. I ended up using some of this to refresh the soil ina catnip plant I have had for years. Then the rest to start a couple of indoor plants from seeds. So far they seem to be growing fine. The soil takes and holds moisture well. No signs of potential nutrient issues so far, will see in a few months when the plants are fully in their growing stage if they start showing signs of needing a boost or not.

Compact soil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Returning to Roots Organic Indoor potting mix, this soil incorporates perlite for aeration and drainage. It is composed coconut core and yucca extract blended with organic plant food. The soil maintains moisture for several days, making it in to a chunky soil mix. The scent is reminiscent of the earth not moldy

Small package but mighty results
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was thrown off initially by the small package but I am really impressed by this potting soil. It was time for some repotting, so I could put this to the test. You can immediately tell a difference when you open the package. Organic material, dark, rich soil and no cheap filler like other brands. After watering a few days later, the soil still felt moist and hydrated. Other brands would already be drained and dry. Will definitely continue to use.
