Monsteras Match
My Mini Monstera thrives in this mix. I typically make my own soils mixes that are Miracle Grow based but this one I barely had to alter. Just a lil peat moss and some pearlite to get more oxygen to the roots

Great product!
I use this product with Potting soil, Orchid Bark, and perlite. I strain out the lava rocks and put them in my aroid mix. I’ll stick with the all Miracle Gro products for my homemade aroid mix! Definitely recommend!

Doesn’t dry
My plants hate this soil. It also never completely dries out. Skip this. The cactus soil is so much better.

DO NOT BUY
I purchased this soil a few weeks ago. I usually don't buy Miracle-Grow products because I've had bad experiences but I bought it because it advertised "because of the potting mix's unique ingredients, it is less likely to attract fungus gnats". When I first got my plants a few years ago there were some fungus gnats but I worked so hard to get rid of them. I hadn't repotted them since then and I thought I would try this out. This soil was clearly contaminated upon purchase because I have had my plants for 4 years and I have never in all this time had all of my plants contaminated with as many gnats. I understand it says "less likely", however, there are SO MANY I'm not sure if I will be able to damage control. Every room in my house now has gnats flying around, every plant I own is now teaming with gnats after I repotted them in this soil. I cannot stress this enough DO NOT BUY this soil, you will regret it.

Does not dry out, EVER
I got this to amend with bark and extra pearlite for more drainage for my plants. DO NOT USE THIS! It NEVER dries out. All my plants started getting root rot and they were perfectly happy before I repotted them!

Don't Do It
If you have tropical plants, I would avoid this stuff like the plague. Unless your home is so drafty to the point where having must-have humidity for most tropicals is basically pointless, this stuff will not dry out. I currently have two dragon trees suffering from root rot because this soil became so compacted after watering that it suffocated them. Unless I gently turned the soil with a chopstick, it would take more than two weeks to dry. I even added perlite and peat moss to create air pockets, but nothing helped. Currently, I have my dragon trees in a new soil mixture made of peat, orchid mix, and perlite, but I'm afraid the root damage is too severe for the trees to recover. Unless you use this stuff sparingly, you're better off using something different. My guess would be the wrong kind of sand in the mixture.

Plants flourish!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This planting mix is so convenient. Has all that my tropicals need. Drains well and I can use slightly less water to water my plants. And it helps to use Miracle Gro Orchid Mix at the bottom of the pot before adding Tropical potting mix.

Lots of Fungus Gnats and Doesn’t Drain Properly
I noticed a lot of fungus gnats on the fly trap after using this soil to plant after 2 weeks. Frustratingly I’d spent a lot of effort to get rid of them on other plants just months before. The soil also retains too much water and doesn’t drain well, contrary to what the packaging says, hence causing the fungus gnats and potentially root rot.

Great soil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This potting mix is great to use for my tropical plants! It keeps them healthy and growing beautifully. Its super easy to use and is great for soaking up enough water to keep them mlisg but not overly saturated. My plants are thriving and look beautiful.

Terrible. Don’t use it on mid to high end plants
Under no circumstance use this product on any type of monstera, philodendron, Hoya or tropical plant prone to root rot. This mix retains water for way too long and you would have to water counting drops to avoid root rot or overwatering. You actually have to make sure that at least an inch of the soil is dry before you water and it also gets awfully compacted after a week or two. So far I lost 2 Monsteras Peru, 1 Monstera Deliciosa and I am fighting to recover another 2 Monstera Peru, 4 Monstera Deliciosa, 2 Monstera Tretrasperma and 2 Monstera Adansonii. Finally if you bought it, mix it with perlite, worm castings, leca, more lava rocks, bark or pumice rock. Or just don’t use it!

When watering my olants the soil keeps them moist and doesnt over saturate my plants!

Good product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this for potted plants including jalapeno, serrano, and habanero peppers as well as several others. Has worked great in the hot Texas climate with no additional fertilizer. Peppers are growing strong!
