Q: Can leftover potting mix be saved and stored for months at a time?

submitted by chrisp - 9 years ago
  • A: I have done this and it does tend to dry out.

    submitted byKBD - 9 years ago
  • A: I twist & seal with a tie or ribber band or get a big plastic storage container to use just for this.

    submitted bylafcom - 6 years ago
  • A: 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

  • A: 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.

    submitted byTexas Lady - 9 years ago
  • A: 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.

Q: Can this potting soil be used with orchids?

submitted by Nicole - 9 years ago
  • A: 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.

  • 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.

Q: Is this soil good for arrowhead plants

submitted by Sara - 1 year ago
  • A: Hello Sara and thank you for your question! Yes, the Miracle-Gro Potting Mix is good for arrowhead plants. Our potting mix is safe and beneficial for ornamental plants in pots and for starting seeds in containers. However, we don't recommend using our potting mix directly in the ground. For in-ground ornamentals, garden soil or compost would be a better choice. Our potting mix is formulated with premium ingredients to provide everything your plants need when grown in a container. While it can add nutrients and organic matter to native soil, garden soil mixes are generally more cost-effective for in-ground applications.

    Didn't stretch very far.

    I always use Miracle Gro. But this size bag didn't stretch far. It seems the bags get smaller and smaller than usual.

    Thank you for providing your feedback about Miracle-Gro® Potting Mix. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Our potting mixes come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 8 quarts to 2 cubic feet. These are large enough to cover most plant projects, depending on the size of pot required. Our garden soils come in larger sizes but we do not recommend using those for potted plants. If there is anything we can do to help you have a great experience, please don't hesitate to contact our Consumer Services team at 888-295-6902 for assistance. We're always here to help!

    DRY AND OLD!!

    ZERO STARS! Dry old potting soil. Ridiculous! What a waste of my time and money! Water just pooled on top and it would not absorb. Even when I squished the water/soil down there were dry areas all throughout the soil. Hopefully I won’t get gnats like the others. I don’t know who’s to blame, Target or the manufacturer.

    Moldy dirt

    The dirt was moldy. Had to throw it away.
    1 reply from Miracle-Gro Consumer Services team - 2 months ago
    We're truly sorry to hear about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Potting Mix and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. Our growing media is intentionally not sterilized. Sterilization would kill off the beneficial microorganisms that make soil "alive." Fungal spores, including those that produce mushrooms, are naturally occurring. They only become visible "overgrowths" when the soil or mulch stays too wet. The mold and fungus found in these products will not harm plants and is safe for people and pets to be around. The mold and fungus on growing media or mulch will go away naturally with increased sunlight and better air circulation. If you have other questions or concerns , please reach out to us at 888-295-6902.

    The product is fine, but the packing for shipping was a failure

    Whoever pack the 3 bags of soil in my shipment should go back to shipping school. The soil bags where not bagged individually and the shipment box, along with all the other items I ordered were covered in soil. I had to wash the dirt off every item. Disgusting at best.

    Entirely hydrophobic. Will not absorb even a drop of water. Never seen such hydrophobic soil.
    1 reply from Miracle-Gro Consumer Services team - 3 months ago
    We're truly sorry to hear about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Potting Mix, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. If your Miracle-Gro Potting Mix feels dry or water-repellent due to the organic matter drying out during storage, simply empty the needed amount into a bucket and slowly stir in water until it reaches the consistency of a damp, squeezed-out sponge. To avoid a mess and manage dust, it is best to perform this mixing outdoors while wearing garden gloves to thoroughly work the moisture into the soil.

    Twice the price? This isn't just inflation. Shame on you, Target.

    1 cubic foot used to cost $9.19. How is it now $19.69? I used to use this for convenience, but later found that there were much better options. Cheaper too. Go to your local hardware store and you can probably 2 cubic ft of potting soil and your choice of fertilizer or soil amendments for the same price. Or if you like miracle gro, then you can at least find it cheaper there.
