    Awful. My plants were doing well and thriving but then ants and gnats became a problem. I had to call pest control for the ants. So frustrating

    This potting soil literally gave my plants fungus gnats. I never had an issue with all 3 of my plants that I got a two months ago. A few weeks after potting them in this soil, I all the sudden have a fungus gnat problem. I ended up tossing all 3 of my palms out.

    1 reply from Miracle-Gro Consumer Services team - 10 days ago
    We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Potting Mix and appreciate your feedback. This is a very unusual situation; however, our Miracle-Gro Potting Mix 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. We recommend slowly adding small amounts of water to the soil and thoroughly stir the mix, working the water in with your hands like bread dough. As the mix absorbs moisture, you can add small amounts of water until the soil is thoroughly moistened. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-295-6902 if we can further assist.

    We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Potting Mix and appreciate your feedback. Miracle-Gro Potting Mix and other soils may dry out too much in shipping or storage. If the soil is dry upon opening the bag we recommend emptying what is needed into a plastic bucket or tub, and 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. The white you see may be mold, neither fungi nor molds in our soil that breaks down dead organic matter harm growing plants. While it may be unattractive, it does not pose a risk to plants. Once the product is mixed in and/or is exposed to sunlight and allowed to dry out, the mold should not be an issue. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back.

    Nikki - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
    I am not happy. I didn’t know what gnats were when I used the potting soil. I continue to use it, not knowing that they were gonna take over my plants and kill them slowly one by one. I’m so saddened by this just like so many others!!!! I am losing all my house plants that I’ve had for years that I’ve been taking care of, they were my babies and I nurtured them just to have them ruined by a poor quality control of a product! Shame on miracle grow!!!

    I've used MiracleGro FOREVER & it had always been great. I say had because something has surely changed. The last couple of bags have sticks & some other kind of material but not what I would call soil (dirt). This has caused me to have you water very often where before I could go over a week or so before watering. Saddened because it's always been my go to & my plants thrived but not now.

    We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Potting Mix and appreciate your feedback. These insects do not harm humans and do little plant damage (they primarily feed on the fungus found naturally in soil). Allow the soil to dry out as much as possible between watering will help control the larvae. Apply at least 1/2 inch of horticultural sand on top of the soil of potted/container plants. Larvae cannot burrow through the sand and will die. Horticultural sand should be left on the container for several weeks, until the problem is solved. 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.
