Always my go to
I always trust Miracle Gro for all of my plants. I love that this has lava rock to help the plants drain. I did repot my plants outside but of course there was no dust. I am a messy gardener and repot all of my plants outside. I always know with Miracle Gro my plants will do well. Also repotting with this soul I know my plants will be well fed, drained and not end up with root shock.

Bigger leaves 🍃
The indoor potting medium for tropicals is amazing. My philodendrons look greener, healthier and started to grow bigger leaves. Helping me to keep my plants safe from overwatering.

Potting Mix
Miracle Gro indoor potting mix for tropicals worked really well for my tropical plants. The soil has a light well draining texture that keeps roots from staying too wet while still holing enough moisture for healthy growth. After repotting, my plants look healthier within a couple weeks with greener leaves and noticeable new growth.

Great potting soil
This soil is a staple in our house for our tropical houseplants. It has a great consistency and it definitely does seem less prone to getting gnats like it claims on the bag compared to other soils I’ve tried. Will for sure keep purchasing this product for years to come!

Nice soil
The soil feels good, looks good, and smells good. Didn't kick up any dust when filling the pot. Seems like it's pretty airy and won't get compacted around my plant.

Tropical plant friendly
Works great for Birds of Paradise! The soil keeps the plant hydrated and packed with nutrients. The packaging could be more re-use friendly (i.e. sealable), but I would use again.
