Q: Can leftover potting mix be saved and stored for months at a time?
submitted by chrisp - 6 years ago
A: I have done this and it does tend to dry out.
submitted byKBD - 6 years agoA: I wouldn’t recommend it unless you can seal the bag very well. My bag was taped closed but somehow flies/ moths got in and were able to breed. I kept the bag rolled up and taped. It was also stored in an indoor utility closet. Soil definitely wasn’t dry but was infested in a months time.
submitted byShiberu - 6 years agoA: Yes. Our Miracle grow Premium Potting Mix can be stored indefinitely. Simply tape or roll top of potting soil bags shut. If you have additional questions or want more information, please contact us. The following link will take you to our contact page: http://tinyurl.com/noc5mcg
submitted byScottsCustomerCare - 6 years agoBrand expertA: I twist & seal with a tie or ribber band or get a big plastic storage container to use just for this.
submitted bylafcom - 3 years agoA: I keep a bag of potting soil until it is used up and that may take up to a year. There is nothing the matter with it, just add some water and the proper fertilizer and everything will be fine.

Q: Can this potting soil be used with orchids?
submitted by Nicole - 6 years ago
A: I would use the Miracle Gro Potting mix because it is what I would have on hand but as of now I do not own an orchid. I would try to Google up some professional help or stop by a nursery for answers.
submitted byTexas Lady - 6 years agoA: No. The potting media used for orchids are chosen to imitate “life on a rainforest tree.” Most common types of orchid potting mix consist primarily of small pieces of fir bark that's main function is to stabilize the plant and promote root growth. We would recommend one of our two Miracle-Gro Orchid Potting Mix products, one that is a course blend and one a fine blend. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any additional help to you. Our phone number is 877-220-3089 and we ask that you please refer to your review when calling.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Potting Mix and appreciate your feedback. Soils and soil amendment products may dry out too much in shipping or storage. When our soils dry out, they become naturally water repellent due to the peat moss and organic materials that are an important part of the soil mixture. If soil/peat moss is dry upon opening the bag, please try the following: Empty what is needed into a plastic bucket or tub, slowly stir in a small amount of water, wearing garden gloves and or using a garden tool work the soil and water together thoroughly until moistened. Do not add too much water at once or the mix will be too wet; Soil should be damp like a squeezed-out sponge. Since dry potting mix can be dusty and messy it is best to mix the product outside. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 877-220-3089 if we can further assist.

I expected more from this brand. Like other reviews, my bag came with little bugs that flew out when I opened it. Also when I water my plant the water just sits on top of the dirt. Not very happy with this product.

Infested with fungus gnats

Ashleyley - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
Infested with fungus gnats!! I bought 2 bags to refresh soil in 2 very expensive houseplants and we’ve had an outbreak of fungus gnats ever since. I’ve tried every remedy to fix the problem, but nothing has worked. I know it was the bags of soil because the plant that I replaced all new soil with was the MOST infested and I eventually had to throw it out. We still have the 2nd plant and it is still infested, but it was so expensive my husband doesn’t want to throw it away. The infestation is so bad, it’s spread to our bathroom sinks and shower drains. I’m sooo upset and have spent hundreds of dollars on sprays, sticky traps, everything to get rid of them. DO NOT BUY- BIG MISTAKE.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Potting Mix and appreciate your feedback. Insects could not survive the composting and packing process. However, it is possible for them to enter the bag during shipping and storage. While we cannot diagnose the insects without seeing them, in case the insects are fungus gnats, let the soil dry out between each watering. Dry soil can help kill the larvae. Most people tend to overwater their plants and this can make the problem worse. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 877-220-3089 if we can further assist.

I would give it zero stars. It has poor drainage and it was infested with fungus gnats. Now I need to buy new soil for all my plants because it’s out of control. DO NOT BUY
1 reply from Miracle-Gro Consumer Services team - 4 months ago
We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Potting Mix and appreciate your feedback. The small flying insects are likely fungus gnats. These insects do not harm humans and do little plant damage (they primarily feed on the fungus found naturally in soil). A possible way to control fungus gnats includes allowing the soil to dry out as much as possible between watering, which will help control the larvae. Also, you can try applying at least 1/2 inch of horticultural sand on top of the soil of potted/container plants; the larvae cannot burrow through the sand and will die. All of our potting mixes, including the moisture control ones, are formulated to allow excessive water to move through the soil and drain out the bottom of the pot. Check the bottom of the container, if possible, to verify that there is an open drainage hole. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 877-220-3089 if we can further assist.
