## Description

Caring for houseplants is easy and fun with the right foundation. That's why we created Miracle-Gro Houseplant Potting Mix for indoor gardening. This indoor potting mix contains the elements and nutrients indoor plants need to thrive, and it feeds for up to 6 months after potting. And because we know that bugs aren't welcome in your home or indoor plant pots, the houseplant potting soil is less prone to gnats, thanks to the right combination of ingredients: perlite, sphagnum peat moss, fertilizer, a wetting agent and coir. It’s perfect for growing Pothos, Monstera Plants, Spider Plants, and more popular indoor plant varieties. To use, select a container with a drainage hole. Fill the pot about 1/3 full with the potting soil mix, place your plant in the pot, and add more houseplant mix around the roots, pressing lightly to level. Water your container thoroughly after planting and let drain. One 4-qt. bag of Miracle-Gro Houseplant Potting Mix fills an 8-inch container (amounts may vary depending on the size of the root ball). For spectacular results, and to further support your success in growing happy houseplants, start regular feedings with Miracle-Gro Indoor Plant Food 30 days after potting your houseplants.

Review: The best potting soil - I always try to use Miracle Grow products and this is my first choice in potting soil. It has fertilizer already in it, good texture with perlite, soil, and plant fiber mixed in so I don't have to add anything to it. Plants grow well in it and it is easy to use. It retains enough moisture but drains well too. I'm always surprised how much soil a pot can hold and usually need more than I think I will. I bought this bag to transplant a plant I bought in a number one container. The soil ball was a little too tall for the pot so I loosened the bottom and spread the roots out so they would fill the sides of the pot. I used half a bag of soil to fill in about two inches all around the root ball! I guess that shows how fluffy the soil is in the bag so be prepared to use more soil than you think you will.
Review: Excellent choice - This potting soil saved one of my plants. It was dying and I didn’t know what to do with it. I bought this potting soil and it seemed to be thriving on the fertilized soil. It’s the perfect size. Didn’t need too much to go to the hardware store and buy a large bag. I recommend this.
