Works Great!
My finger lime tree was just a 12 inch stick after I repotted it. After using this, we have little tiny baby leaves growing in less than a week! I usually have bad luck when it comes to repotting, so I will use this everytime.

Great for transplanting
I bought this to use with some Bonnie Plants tomato and herb plants I purchased this year. This solution seemed to really help the plants thrive when I split and repotted my basil in particular. It’s easy to apply and the plants seemed to look really healthy overnight.

Must have!!!
I bought this yesterday because I was transplanting some Madagascar plants that a neighbor pulled out for me two days ago. So they started to look sad and down, When I planted them with Miracle grow potting soil they did good but right after I added the quick start and they all stood right up the next morning. I must say I am completely satisfied. If you invest in plants, please invest in plant food as well. It is well worth it. And cheaper than buying plants every time they die. I have my own landscaping company and I always add miracle grow products to anything we plants for a good boost and happy clients.

Absolutely Outstanding
I am an extremely honest reviewer. I am critical when it's called for (sometimes very) and rave when I find a product I think others can benefit from. There's no sense writing a review otherwise.
This deserves 10 stars. I happened to pick some up at Ollies and it ended up being one of the best buys I've ever made, garden or otherwise.
I put it on my impatiens which had looked stunted and raggedy. Within weeks, the stem circumference was bigger than my thumb. Really. My sister, a fellow gardener could not believe it when she saw them. I've literally never seen healthier stems and plants. I now consider it as important a purchase as soil, mulch and the plants themselves. In fact, the plants became so robust they almost burst out of the pots. Frankly, this performs better and more visibly than Miracle Gro plant food does.
A must have for those who start their own seeds or even for those who buy packs of plants.

INCREDIBLE PRODUCT
I've been using this priduct now for a good 5 years and wow it makes me look an expert gardener. I use it on everything from planting vegetable seedlings, transplanting shrubs to planting apple trees. I've never lost a plant since.

Excellent product
This product works well for getting good root formation on bedding plants. I would consider it a must have for starting and transplanting bedding plants. My only criticism is the label instructions call for "1/2 cap full per gallon". However there is no discernible marks on the cap indicating "1/2". So I chatted with Kimber online and was told that it is 1 ounce or 2 tbls per gallon. This is good information since I mix 5 - 10 gallons at a time for my small greenhouse, so no more counting out 1/2 caps. Thanks Kimber. Might be good to amend the label to indicate the alternate measurements mentioned.

Amazing product.
I brought this at Home Depot about a two weeks ago. I planted a bearess lime in a 20 gallon nursery pot. Then I added miracle gro quick start with a gallon of water. And started to grow small flowers.

My plants love this
Miracle Gro stands up to its name. I have been using Miracle Gro products for years, and this is by far my favorite liquid feeding product. It works fabulously in a hose sprayer, making application super-easy.
