Perfect Orchid Potting Mix
I acquired an orchid that needed re-potting and like how the Miracle-Gro potting mix works so well. It has a blend of sizes of the bark like mix and easy to re-pot. I removed all the mix and cleaned the clumps from the roots, added the new potting mix to the pot then put in my orchid, adding more potting mix. I am pleased with this product and Scott's products in general. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Description did not match reality
    I threw it away. It was not 'coarse' as described. It was bark dust. Not what I wanted.

    not as expected
    I bought this product because it says it is a coarse blend, but there is a more fine dirt-like substance in it than bark. I am very disappointed in this bag of orchid mix.

    Full of larva
    When I was repotting my orchid I noticed the dirt had a couple of flies, but I didn't think it would be a big problem. A week later the plan was INFESTED with flies. I checked the dirt bag and sure enough it was full of flies. I even bought insecticide and there still flies. The dirt bag was full of larva.

    Buyer beware: fungus gnats and mould!
    When I opened the bag some fungus gnats and a pungent mushroomy smell flew out. On inspection the mix has mould and smells very bad. Now I have fungus gnats to deal with and nothing I actually want to repot my orchids into. I don't feel I can return this especially considering Covid-19 restrictions, so I'm left out of pocket and frustrated!

    Not much bark but I got a bolt
    I have been repotting my orchids using this mix. When I got to the last third of the bag, something went clunk. A rusty bolt was in the bag. Not sure I'd buy this again. I question their quality control

    Never Again
    I bought this about two months ago to repot my three orchids. I repotted them and had a major infestation of little black flying bugs. I just figured it was a fluke and killed then as I could. I went and got a new orchid that I needed to repot. I pulled out the bag and it was packed full of the same bugs. I dumped it in a box to try to get rid of them. Finally decided to go and buy a different brand and I have now repotted all of them in Better-Gro orchid mix. This miracle gro mix is going on the garbage. A waste of good money!!!

    Great stuff
    Used this to transplant romiad pups. They look good in their new ceramic pots. They seem happy and healthy in this new medium! So far so good!

    For great orchids
    The potting mix is perfect for repotting orchids as they are different from other flowers. They can't use regular potting soil.
