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.

Works great but is always out of stock or not available where/whenever I go to buy it
This soil worked amazingly for my plants and I wanted to buy more, however, I can't seem to find it in any home improvement/gardening center in my area. I am really hopeful that I do find more, as this is a total winner so far out of the soils I have previously used for my succulents. Better, more vibrant color was noticeable within a month; and new growth was to be seen in the next month or so following. This soil also helped make care easier, as I'm also a full-time student with fluctuating schedules and occasionally not home for a week or so and miss their 'watering day'. The accessibility, personally, is the reasoning for 4.

Formula needs more perlite and pebbles
This formulation as it is still does not promote good drainage. My potted succulents stay wet too long and some of my root systems are rotting. When I use other mixes, I do not have this problem. So this formula needs improvements to be effectively draining well.

My poor plants...
I had my cacti for about a year and a half when I finally decided it was time to transplant them. I was so excited to find this potting mix to help my plants along the way. Unfortunately, within a few weeks ALL of my cacti withered away. The mix should be more for succulents as I believe the soil did not drain well enough. I had 5 cacti that died and only one that lived. Very sad, and I would not recommend this for true cacti.

New life to my plants
I used this product to repot my 3 cactus plants. I took the plants out trimmed the roots and washed the inside of the pots. I then put new soil in the pot and placed the plants back into the soil. 3 months after repotting my 3 plants I can see new growth and health plants. 1 plant had been in its pot for 5 years and was not growing much. After being repotted it started to grow again. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Good Specialty Mix
I think the consistency of this product is well suited for the cactus and palm plants as they need a soil that can drain well. Succulents seem to do very well in this mix. In the past, I have sometimes made my own mix, but this sure simplifies things! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
