About Miracle-Gro Tropical Potting Mix
Overall Feedback:
82% positive
76% liked its excellent drainage properties, but 24% found it retained too much water
The soil does not drain at all, despite the claims on the package.
After putting the monstera into the soil, it never dried out.
77% appreciated its pleasant, earthy aroma, while 23% found it had an unpleasant odor
The potting soil mix seems to be of good quality and doesn't have a strong odor like some other potting soils.
My Hoya crimson queen did not thrive in this mix, suggesting that the soil may have an unpleasant odor.
After using it for over two weeks, my plants' roots rotted because the soil became sopping wet.
I was disappointed with the potting soil as it caused mold to grow on the top soil.
77% appreciated its optimal ph level, though 23% found it too acidic
Fungi grew in every pot and fungus gnats were flying around the plants after using the soil. This could be due to an imbalance in the pH level of the soil.
82% praised for its high nutrient content, while 18% found it lacked essential minerals
I was disappointed with the potting soil because of the mold on the top soil.
77% liked its well-balanced soil structure, but 23% found it too sandy
I have found that the soil holds an incredible amount of water/moisture, causing the roots of my plants like plumerias, monsteras, possibly the fiddle leaf fig and corn plant to rot after planting with it over two weeks ago.
I am disappointed due to the mold that grew on the top soil.
79% appreciated its ability to suppress weeds, although 21% found it didn't work as well as expected
I use the product on all my garden and herb plants, tomatoes and peppers, rosemary and thyme, and house plants like spider plants and cacti as well.
It's worth it to not have bugs in my houseplants.
The product killed my plants within a month, indicating its ineffectiveness in suppressing weeds or being unsuitable for the garden-soil.
After using the soil to repot all my plants, I found fungi growing in every single pot and many fungus gnats flying around the plants.
