Orchid Bark
It's been about a year since I bought orchid bark. This recent purchase(5-2023) I noticed that the bark were bigger chunks (larger than mulch) the largest chuck would not even go into an orchid pot. Why are the barks so large? Doesn't Miracle Grow notice this?

Beware - Instant Bug Infestation
I bought this product a week ago (Nov 2022) - I live in a condo, and the windows are closed and it's cold and snowing outside - used about 2 cups to re-pot 3 orchids, and now I have a bug infestation. I looked back in the bag and it is FULL of bugs. I only used about 2 cups of an 8.8L bag - and now I need to throw out the entire bag.
And now that I recall, the last, and only other time, I got a bug infestation is when I used Miracle Grow potting mix for indoor plants and it took me 3-4 months to finally get rid of all the bugs. It was a nightmare. Never again!

Gnats :(
I just opened my new bag of this orchid soil to top up my orchids and there were a bunch of gnats as soon as I opened the bag. So, unfortunately I can not use this as I definitely do not want to introduce gnats to all of the other house plants I have. I purchased this brand because of the great reputation but unfortunately am pretty disappointed now and am stuck without the soil I need to finish my project.

Too coarse bark
I bought this a week and a half ago and the bark is so corse some of the pieces don’t fit in the pot. I usually like miracle grow soils but they really need to work on this. It’s also very dry.

very good mix for Phalaenopsis and Cattleyas.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been growing orchids at home for over 20 years. This is a very good mix for my Phalaenopsis and Cattleyas. They are doing well in this mix after a couple months and I don’t need to worry about fertilizing them for six months. The course mix drains water well but holds the orchids in place. It has very little “dust” that washes out of the mix when watered.

Full of Symphyla bugs.
My orchids were were being destroyed by these bugs which I discovered were inside a bag of my orchid potting mix bought in June ‘22. I am already dealing with Micro-Go’s fungus gnat issue from Micro-Gro’s regular potting mix in my regular plants.
I feel Micro-Gro should provide bags of sand not tips to use it- it’s not available in my entire region. I have many plants - 4 being large floor plants. All were healthy before repotting. My apartment was bug-free prior to bringing their products into it.
I would strongly recommend opening any MG potting mix before purchase and examine for insects or larvae between May and October.

Off to a good start.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t know a lot about orchid and have wanted to get one for a long time. This product was easy to use and so far my plant seems happy. Hasn't been in use 6 months yet so I can't tell whether it changes over time.

Orchid potting soil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use. Miracle gro helps with plant growth for up to 6 months. Course mix helps with drainage so soil doesn’t hold water. Easy to follow instructions. Unsure at this time how my orchid will grow. Will update in a few weeks/months.
