problems this year
The last two years I used this potting soil and didn’t have any concerns. Worked as advertised. This year I bought a new bag and potted a few things, stored it as usual, and now my bag is full of gnats. Definitely gross and I don’t want to put new plants in my remaining soil and have plant problems. Pretty bummed. My regular yellow bag miracle grow potting soil I purchased this year had mold growing in it after 1 use and storage. I store my bags as I have every year, rolled up the top, on a shelf, in a dry garage. Trying a new brand in the future.

GNATS!
Soil is full of fungal gnat eggs. Thank you for infesting all of my succulents that I've had for over 10 years with fungal gnats....

Soil Bugs
I bought this for my lemon trees and I had these little flying bugs all over the place. I bought three bags and put them in the basement. I started my indoor gardening where I used pods they were fine until I put them in the basement under lights. The next day I found those little bugs on my mew seedlings. I have to throw out the open bag of Miracle Grow I put in the basement. I went on line and saw that I could sprinkle cinnamon on the soil and it will get rid of these little bugs. Wish me luck.

Stays damp, doesn’t drain well
I bought this soil for my succulents and it’s very rich and peat moss-like, and it doesn’t seem to have any of the components other succulent soil has (pumice, sand, etc). It doesn’t drain at all and stays moist and damp. My succulents started rotting so I had to find other soil for them. Really not impressed

MULTIPLE BAGS INFESTED WITH GNATS****
I purchased a bag of this a while ago to repot some of my plants last spring, I noticed these little tiny flies started to appear around the top of the soil after a week or so. I read online to discover they were fungus gnats and boy are they EXTREMELY difficult to get rid of. I got rid of the gnats after a couple MONTHS. I purchased another bag recently to get myself ready to reprt (thinking the last bag was maybe a bad bag) and I opened the bag this morning and there were SWARMING with the same small fungus gnats! This is very disappointing. I DO NOT RECOMMENED this soil. I have another bag of just regular indoor potting mix from Miracle Gro and didn’t see one bug. This must just be super common for the Palm, Cactus, and Citrus soil. I’m pretty upset.

Bad drainage
I brought the soil for my new succulent arrangement, and it doesn't drain well, at all. Some of the unused succulents were put into small pots with this soil and they don't drain either.

Love
I absolutely love this garden soil. It works wonderful for each plant that I've used it with. I've also used it with other plants besides cactus, palm and citrus and it works well.

Way too moisture retentive.
This product was purchased because there was an accident involving plants, and they needed repotting. This was not the mix I wanted. Miracle Gro products have left med disappointed with their quality.
This was a bind I found myself in, and this is what the store had.
I blended this mix 1:1 with perlite. I then added .24 parts granite for some plants, and .50 for others. In others still, I used the perlite, granite, and .25 bark.
Ingredients had been rinsed or soaked prior, and they all blended well. After repotting, I watered in.
Even with the soil amended this way, the medium remained soppy, all the next day. I had let the pots drain, let them set tilted, and "dropped' the pot to try to get more water out.
I am seeing that this mix is going to hold onto water too well for my variety of succulents. It is August. These plant did not need the stress of being repotted, just so they could be potted again, once they have dried. The cooler temps of winter are coming, and this moisture retentive mix will cost me plants.
I did not read the ingredients on the bag. The Miracle Grow name for me, means poor amendments. Like the tiny, dust perlite you can buy, and maybe use half of. The rest will be dust and gray rocks.
I just needed a cactus mix. This is a cactus, palm, citrus mix that is supposed to be great for succulents. This has way too much peat in it, and if there is sand, it is dust particulate.
