Miracle Gro indoor potting mix is the perfect growth medium when you need your potted plants to live and thrive. Lightweight, fluffy, and laden with nutrients, this potting mix makes indoor gardening highly rewarding.
With this potting mix, you’ll never worry about the usually potted plant issues – overheating, compacted soil, pest, diseases, and overwatering. This potting mix is blended with enough indoor plant fertilizer to feed your plants for months.
Growing healthy and strong potted plants has never been easier. Miracle Gro’s potting mix makes indoor gardening a highly rewarding, pest-free experience.
No Overheating
Miracle Gro indoor potting soil is soilless, fluffy, and lightweight formulation. It’s specially designed to combat overheating in potted plants. Since this potting mix is soilless, it’s not dense and doesn’t compact tightly around the plant roots.
Fluffy indoor potting facilitates healthy root growth without overcrowding the planting pot. Heat stress sets in when the soil temperature rises over 86 °F degrees. Root growth slows down or stops entirely at high soil temperatures. The roots die off when soil temperatures exceed 96 °F.
Miracle Gro potting mix’s lightweight nature helps combat heat stress. It prevents soil compaction and allows air to flow freely between the roots.
With this potting mix, your plants will never overheat in their pots, even if you leave them outside in sweltering summer heat.
Specially Blended for Indoor Plants
Miracle Gro potting mix is the most complete plant growth medium on the market. It has everything your indoor plants need to grow and thrive.
Besides providing a strong anchor point for the plants, it facilitates superior root development and accelerates plant growth. Even flowering plants like peace lilies, orchids, jasmine, and lemon trees bloom faster.
The indoor potting mix is slightly acidic and laden with sufficient nutrients to rival the best indoor fertilizers on the market. The 6.3 to 6.8 pH range creates the perfect growing environment for your plants.
The perfectly blended slow and fast-release indoor plant fertilizers ensure rapid and sustainable plant growth. The 3-1-2 nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium (NPK) ratio is perfect for nourishing indoor plants.
- Ammonium nitrate provides nitrogen to accelerate plant growth.
- Calcium and ammonium phosphate provide phosphorous to enhance root development, promote flowering, and increase bloom size.
- Potassium sulfate provides potassium to boost the plant’s cold and water tolerance and disease resistance.
Since Miracle Gro potting is nutritionally dense, it contains enough indoor fertilizer to feed your plants for six months.
Superior, High-quality Composition
Miracle Gro indoor potting mixing comprises a special blend of carefully chosen materials. It contains sphagnum peat moss, coconut coir, perlite, and a wetting agent to provide an ideal growing environment.
- Sphagnum peat moss is airy and has exceptional moisture retention to promote healthy root development.
- Coconut coir or coconut fibers hold and release water gradually, which lowers the watering frequency. They also keep the soil moist and easy to re-wet during subsequent watering.
- Perlite is a lightweight white granular material that resembles bits of polystyrene. It’s highly porous and is used to improve aeration and water drainage in potting soils and mixes.
Blending these ingredients creates the perfect indoor potting soil. Miracle Gro indoor potting soil is lightweight, fluffy, drains easily, and doesn’t compact. It ensures your indoor plants have ready access to water, fertilizer, and oxygen.
Pest and Disease-Free Indoor Gardening
No fungus gnats. No fruit flies. No bugs. No fungal diseases.
Miracle Gro indoor potting soil promises (and delivers) a pest and disease-free indoor gardening experience. Unlike other brands, this potting soil doesn’t contain bark or compost – two culprits behind fungus gnats and fungal diseases.
Fungus gnats thrive in moist potting soils containing organic materials such as compost and pine bark. Their larvae feed on organic material and fungi in the potting soil. They also chew on plant roots, causing root rot, a deadly fungal infection that may kill off your indoor plants.
Miracle Gro Indoor potting mix composition makes it inhospitable to fungus gnats and other bugs. It lacks the organic matter that fungus gnats need to thrive and breed. Quick drainage ensures the potting mix remains relatively dry between the watering session.
No more suffering through a pesky bug invasion, spending money on harmful pesticides, or losing plants to deadly fungal diseases. Finally, a worry-free gardening experience.
Zero Risk of Overwatering Your Plants
The Miracle Gro indoor potting medium shields you from the risks of overwatering your indoor plants. The composition of sphagnum peat moss, coconut coir, and perlite is quick to drain. You’re guaranteed that your plants will never be waterlogged.
Pairing this indoor potting mix with the right planting pot eliminates the risk of overwatering. The ideal indoor planting pot includes a hole in the bottom and a saucer to catch the excess water.
After each watering session, the excess drains to the bottom of the pot. Since the potting mixture is light, fluffy, and airy, it’ll never become waterlogged. It remains moist for a while, so you can confidently skip a few days between watering sessions.
Better yet, you can water your indoor plants from the bottom. Add water to the saucer and leave the potting mix to absorb as much water as possible. The peat moss absorbs the water and allows it to spread evenly.
Watering from the bottom also helps combat fungus gnats while using potting mixtures with garden soils. It makes the top layer, where fungus gnats breed, dry and uninhabitable.
Generous Cost Savings
You’ll love the Miracle Gro indoor potting mix if you’re an avid gardener with multiple plants. The potting mix covers all bases.
It’s a highly affordable, high-quality portable indoor potting soil available in large batches. The potting soil comes in large-sized bags – 6 or 16-quart bags – for your potting convenience.
You can easily fill four to six 4-inch planting pots from a 6-quart bag and save money while expanding your indoor garden.
Best of all, Miracle Gro indoor potting mix is formulated with sufficient nutrients to keep your indoor plants growing healthy and strong for up to six months. However, pairing this potting soil mix with Miracle Gro indoor plant fertilizer 30 days after planting guarantees spectacular growth.
Long Lifespan
Miracle Gro indoor potting mix can keep your indoor plants growing strong and healthy for years. The high-quality material composition delivers a lifespan of up to 2 years. This lifespan is excellent because, on average, you should change the potting mix every 1 to 2 years. Or when the plants outgrow their planting pots.
Typically, the longevity of a potting mix comes down to its ingredients. Sphagnum peat moss, the primary ingredient in Miracle Gro indoor potting mix, has a lifespan of 1 to 2 years. Coconut coir comprises tough fibers that decompose after 3 to 4 years. Perlite is a naturally occurring material that doesn’t expire.
Ordinarily, re-potting your plants every year or two is a hassle. But not when using Miracle Gro indoor potting mix. The potting soil is available in affordable large batches to let you get the job done quickly.
Typically, you can re-pot 4 to 6 plants with a 6-quart-sized bag of Miracle grow potting soil.
