Would give zero stars if I could. Ended up with a SERIOUS gnat problem. The soil of the plants I repotted with miracle grow is crawling with them after weeks. The eggs must’ve hatched.

This is not the expectation you should have with Miracle-Gro Potting Mix. We 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. Insects may also come in with the soil of transplanted plants or enter through cracks, crevices, open windows or doors simply looking for a suitable environment. 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), but can be a nuisance. 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. 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.

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. Insects may also come in with soil of transplanted plant or enter through cracks, crevices, open windows or doors simply looking for suitable environment. The small yellow, green or clear fluid-filled beads you may see in potting mix are not insect eggs. It is the plant food called "Osmocote". These fertilizer prills absorb moisture allow the liquid fertilizer inside to pass out of the prill into the soil. "Osmocote" is sold separately in the garden center, but will not contain the central fluid until mixed with a moist potting media. Most of our Potting Mixes also contain perlite that looks like tiny white puffy balls. Perlite helps improve the drainage of the soil. 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.

Sun - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
I have never had an issue with fungus gnats until I purchased a bag of this dirt. I repotted several of my plants (plants I've had for over ten years), and they were ALL subjected to these things! I have used Miracle-Gro in the past so I never considered reading reviews on the product, but now I wish that I had. I lost so many lovely plants! Why would you sell this garbage? Not that it matters at this point. I will never buy another item from Miracle Gro. Target should find another company to collaborate with.

Terrible delivery. The box was damaged and put in a Fed Ex box but the contents were quite a mess. Target will not do anything unless I bring the damaged box and contents to the store. I will never order garden products online from Target again.

Fungus gnats

bananika - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
They have definitely changed the formula recently. Been using this soil successfully for years and now with my two most recent purchases the soil doesn’t hold water & my plants got fungus gnats from this soil. For anyone else dealing with the issue, a nematode powder in the water and sticky traps in the pot have worked best for me with previous infestations!

Terrible, used to repot my plant and ended up with gnats everywhere. I 100% know it’s from the soil because I had extra soil that I put in a closed container, which I checked and found maggots all over it.

I too am not happy with the change of this potting mix. I got into houseplants when I was 17 years old. I am 39. Miracle Gro has always been a brand I trusted. This year I noticed that it was sort of off. I thought it was just the bag I bought so I got more but it's all the same. I always add more perlite and orchid bark to my mix but this isn't even good as a base. It doesn't absorb water well. WHY do companies change things when it's working just fine? Why do they raise prices but put out an inferior product? It has definitely changed because I still had some leftover from last year. This year's soil is so DRY! Miracle Gro if you are reading this, you are going to lose a lot of customers with this mix. The only people that will buy this are people who don't know any better. Go back to what worked for so many of us for years. No one really likes this. Read the reviews. Listen to your customers. Your cactus and succulent soil still seems to be okay but this is trash. Now I have to search for something better.

L - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
I've bought this product many times before but there's something wrong with the bag I recently bought at Target. I think it may be old stock, because it's extremely dry. It also has a ridiculous amount of wood chips in it. Since it's such a hassle to return an open bag of dirt, I just pick out some of the wood and then mix it with some better soil. I'm not sure how well that's going to work because my new plants haven't been potted long enough to tell. IF I ever buy this again, I'll open the bag to inspect it before I leave the store.
