Tropical plants love a good drink, but don't like to sit in water! This mix is well-draining, but always check the soil before watering. Let the top 1-2 inches become dry to the touch, then water thoroughly and let all the excess water drain from the pot.
Yes. Our Miracle-Gro Tropical Potting Mix got a name upgrade to Indoor Potting Mix for Tropicals. We also gave it a fresher, cleaner look on the outside, without changing the goodness on the inside.
We're glad you asked! To keep your leftover indoor gardening soil in great shape, simply seal the bag (a clip or tape works great!) and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Great question! This tropical potting mix is specially blended for plants that thrive in a jungle environment. It contains lava rock and sand to provide better drainage than most standard mixes, which is key for keeping plants like monsteras and snake plants happy and preventing root rot.
