Great quality
I was really happy with this seed starter potting soil! I actually had some marigold seeds I wanted to start so it was perfect! The soil is high quality and worked great. I also planted some seeds in our regular soil and they are not sprouting as fast or as well as the ones I put in the potting soil. Will definitely be using this from now on!

Works so well
we use this soil to plant our siblings and our bulbs and they grew beautifully with a little bit of water every day, We have them out on our front porch and now they are ready need to be replanted into the ground. They grew so quickly and so bright and beautiful. Definitely a product worth using

Great starting mix.
Holds moisture well and reduces time on maintaining the new seeds. The best soil for germination is sterile with few nutrients so the fickle new roots do not burn. You need transplant a seedling into soil. There aren’t enough nutrients in seed starting mix to sustain a pepper seed plant.

Seed/root starter soil
This product is simple to use and very effective. So far I have rooted a goldfish plant, Easter cactus and a Christmas cactus. They are all firmly rooted and thriving after only two weeks. Highly recommend this product especially for beginners.

Great soil, highly recomend
I’ve been using Miracle-Gro Seed Starting Potting Mix for a couple of seasons now, and it’s become a staple in my gardening routine. Whether I’m starting herbs, vegetables, or flowers, this mix consistently gives me strong, healthy sprouts. The texture is light and fluffy, which helps with good drainage and root development, and I’ve noticed faster germination compared to other brands I’ve tried.
What I especially love is that it already contains nutrients to support the first few weeks of growth—so I don’t have to worry about feeding the seedlings right away. My tomato and pepper seedlings, in particular, looked noticeably greener and more vigorous this year.
If you’re starting seeds indoors or in a greenhouse, I highly recommend this mix. It’s clean, easy to work with, and gives your plants the best start possible. Happy planting! 🌿

Great for starting seeds
Miracle-Gro’s Seed Starting Potting Mix is specially designed for container use, and it really shows. It retains moisture beautifully, which is exactly what young roots need to thrive. I’ve had great success with germination and early growth using this mix.
That said, it’s important to know what this product is and what it isn’t. This is not your average garden soil. It’s designed for seed starting and propagation, not for in-ground planting or long-term potting. Using it outside of its intended purpose will likely lead to poor results, like waterlogged roots or stunted growth. Trust me, I learned that the hard way.
Stick to using it in pots or trays for seedlings, and you’ll be rewarded with a strong start to your growing season. Just remember: right mix, right job.

Nice soil
This is a nice potting soil. It’s is very finely granulated and rich. It doesn’t come in a super large bag, but is enough for several small pots or 1 pretty big container. I haven’t had any pest problems with this soil and it is going my plants great.

Potting Mix
I can finally plant my philodendron. This came in right in time. I planted some of my herbs and plant in it. So far they are blooming/growing nicely. Especially my philodendron started it from a seed. This mix naturally feeds your plant and seedlings. It contains, sphagum,perlite, and peat moss for excellent water retention, drainage, and aeration to help root growth.

Perfect Mix for Starting Seeds
I have used Miracle-Gro Seed Starting Potting Mix, and it worked really well for starting my seeds. The mix is soft, light, and easy to handle, which helped my seeds sprout quickly. I noticed that most of the seeds I planted grew into healthy little plants within a short time. It holds moisture well but doesn't stay too wet, which is great for young seedlings. I also like that it's not messy and doesn't have a strong smell. Overall, it's a great product for beginners or anyone looking to grow plants from seeds at home.

Great drainage while staying moist
This potting soil looks very nice. It’s keeping moist & its drainage is great. I am currently using it to propagate some shrubs & also using it to start some late zinnia seeds & sunflowers in our short growing season. I will definitely be using more of this in the spring time.

Miracle growth for my plants
My favorite soil, the only type I have ever used. Clean, obviously with a good mix of material to help plant growth. I don't buy any other brand already. Either they are clay in and heavy , or they have weird material that's mixed in

Great grow mix - 100% success rate!
This is by far the BEST grow mix I have ever used! I've read the reviews where folks were whining about the "sticks" in the dirt ... well there are pieces of organic matter and yes there are very SMALL sticks, but there is nothing in the this grow mix that will stop seeds from germinating. I've used this to successfully start all of our garden veggies, zinnias, sunflowers, and herbs ... with 100% success rate every time. I've also used this grow mix to start African violets from seed, cactus from seed, and rooting African violets as well as Picasso petunias. This has been our second year using this mix, and we'll use it again every year going forward. I couldn't be happier with this stuff. And, the African violet seeds I started in January, one of those plants is now blooming!
Ignore the whining about the big sticks and try it!

Seedlings popping up
This is my first time using seed starting mix. Usually I use regular Miracle Gro potting mix to start my Marigold and Celosia seeds which had about 90% germination. But not much success with other variety of seeds. This year I’m using Miracle Gro Seed Starting Mix and all varieties of my seeds germinated close to 90%. Here I have so far, Silver Sage, Mother of Thyme, Bachelor’s Button, and Cosmos. The bag is lightweight enough for a child to carry. This also means the mix is very dry. Before sowing, I pour the mix into a bowl, and mixed thoroughly with water until evenly moist. This guarantees there are no dry pockets which will be hard to fix once you sow your seeds. But once they’re moist, water passes through easily. I only watered once in the two weeks that have gone by. I did find a bit of white mold growing on the mix of my Bachelor’s Buttons. It was caused by the tray being covered. Once I removed the cover, the mold stopped growing. I did not have mold on my other seedlings which were not covered. The bag did have a moldy smell even when not opened. I didn’t see any gnats. Yes there were sticks I had to pick out so there is some work. I’m looking forward to sowing my zinnias and marigolds soon.
