Miracle-Gro African Violet Potting Mix, 8 qt.

Potting mixes made specially for African violets are hard to find in most of the garden centers near to me. Hence, Amazon was my only option left. Needless to say, Amazon never disappoints me. I use Miracle gro potting mixes for all my indoor plants so I really trust this brand.✓ This product arrived on time and in good condition.✓ Has 4qt of loose, porous potting mix for African violets. I found this to be a good bargain since repotme.com provides only half of the quantity for the same price!✓ I cannot comment on the quality yet since I've just finished potting my plants in this mix. I will update their progress in a couple of months.✓ But what I observed during repotting my plants is: the soil is really porous. Water did flow through the pot pretty easily. This is very important for the root health of African violets, since they really like to breathe!✓ I really wish that the product was resealable. I have used only a very small quantity now and I'm finding it hard to store the rest of it without the contents spilling over.Update - 07/11/2019✓ In approximately 40 days for repotting my African Violet in this potting mix, the first bud came out! (The only other time that my plant flowered was when I had initially bought it from the nursery). This is a huge success for me. Right now, there are a lot other buds coming out.✓ Also, the African violet babies that I'd planted in this potting mix had a 100% success rate ( PS. I did let the leaves root in water for a month before planting them in soil mix. This method usually has a good success rate). The young plants are growing really well.I've attached pictures of the successful plants.UPDATE 01/26/2021✓ I used this mix for my Calathea ornata, epiphyllum cacti, succulent arrangements and also as a seed starting mix. Success, success, success everywhere! I think the porous composition of this mixture does wonders! My first bag is about to get over now. It lasted for almost a year and a half. I have no doubts that I'll be purchasing this again!

My A.Violets love this potting soil.

Great for African violets and other plants needing a loose mix.

I grow Jumping Goldfish plants from cut stems in this soil to sell. Turn out perfect every time.

My wife is having great success with her African Violets- and she attributes it to having the proper soil and light. This soil was very clean- we have had no flies or bugs in this bag. It holds the appropriate amount of water but drains well after watering. Il

My violet was dieing, this soil & a self watering pot has it thriving.

This soil is a product you can depend on! No matter if you have a green thumb or not, your plants will thank you. Watch them grow happily plus flourish with more blooms and green foliage. It pays to get the best.

Nice product.
