JessWu95 - 2 months ago
The price on this item at the store is 6.29 while online it says it’s 5.99… I just purchased it because I assume since the soil is indoors vs other stores it’s placed outside i figured there wont be gnats but according to the reviews it still has them i believe this is a company problem not the stores fault ( I’ve been Potting plants for years and no matter where I buy soil from there is gnats sometimes… from the homes and the lowes and the wals it’s just luck if you get them or not in the soil you purchase I guess ) 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

Gnats and it never dries out.

I repotted 3 houseplants with this potting mix and now I have fungus gnats and this mix holds too much moisture and doesn’t dry out as fast as other mixes I’ve used. (And yes, my pots have good drainage and I haven’t introduced any new plants that might have gnats.) I would give negative stars if I could. Buyer beware!

We're sorry to read about your disappointment withMiracle-Gro Indoor Potting Mix and appreciate your feedback. These insects do not harm humans and do little plant damage (they primarily feed on the fungus found naturally in soil). Allow the soil to dry out as much as possible between watering will help control the larvae. Apply at least 1/2 inch of horticultural sand on top of the soil of potted/container plants. Larvae cannot burrow through the sand and will die. Horticultural sand should be left on the container for several weeks, until the problem is solved. The small yellow, green or clear fluid-filled beads you are seeing are not insect eggs. It is plant food called 'Osmocote'. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 877-220-3089 if we can further assist.

Three days ago. I had thoroughly cleaned my space by pouring hot water down all the sinks. I also repotted my plants with Miracle-Gro Tropical (less prone to gnats/pink & green bag), which is known to be less prone to attracting gnats. Just three days later, I noticed a significant reduction in the gnat population. To take it a step further, I also added a yellow sticky 'butterfly' trap to each pot to capture any remaining gnats and prevent their return.
Gnats!

We used the indoor potting soil mix and within days we were infested with gnats all over the house and we traced them to the indoor pots of plants we just transplanted to bigger pots. We’ve had these plants in the house all this time, they have just outgrown their old pots. We never had gnats before! If we could give zero stars we would! We’re still fighting the gnats! We trapped them with sticky tape and the tapes were filled instantly! Disgusted and disappointed!

Horrible product and now I have fungus gnats everywhere!!! I have tried using cheaper soil and never had issues. This time I transferred my succulents into the third pot ( as they grew out) and it was almost impossible to keep the gnats away!

Not happy - 1 year ago
This stuff whatever it is. Definitely not suitable for tropical plants. It holds too much moisture making them prone to root rot. My Syngonium completely died. My climbing Raphidophora was left with just a piece to propagate in water. My manjula and snow queen pothos also with just a chunk to try and save. All had brown mushy roots after realizing why they weren’t thriving. Need to start all over again. It takes a good 18 months to see a plant get this big. So annoying with this product.

I can’t say yet how well it’s working for the plants, but it was convenient for adding some nutrients to my indoor plants. The price was ok.

I was excited to find and buy this so I could keep some fresh herbs in my kitchen…but, after 3-4 weeks, my plants are stagnant! They haven’t grown at all and look like they are dying! And, I have seen several gnats flying around them. I followed the directions to a T…soooo VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!

The problem with this item is that the solution stays wet longer than your average soil . Causes root rot .I personally say that caution should be taken in using this item alone an amendment should be added
