Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use potting mix for outdoor plants that are in-ground or in raised beds?
Miracle-Gro® has both indoor and outdoor potting mixes to help potted plants in different conditions thrive. Potting mix should not be used with in-ground plants as potting mixes are designed specifically for the needs of container plants. If you're looking for a soil for in-ground plants or raised beds, try Miracle-Gro Organic™ Raised Bed & Garden Soil.
What's the difference between indoor and outdoor potting mix?
Because indoor and outdoor plants live in different environments, they need different potting mixes to help them thrive. Outdoor potting mixes will typically be richer in nutrients and help plants hold more water. Indoor potting mixes will help regulate water so plants don't receive too much or too little.
What are the best plants to grow in pots outdoors?
This can vary depending on where you live, but there are many plants that can thrive in outdoor pots! Consider planting your herbs in pots during warmer months. Geraniums, hydrangeas, and zinnias are a few flowering favorites that grow well in containers. If you live in warmer climates, consider potted succulents or cacti. Humid conditions are great for tropicals like hibiscus and palm trees.
