Place the root ball of your plant in the soil and add more mix. Press lightly; water the plant and let drain. Let the soil dry to the touch between waterings.

Review: The Secret Ingredient for a Plant Party! - I recently started using Miracle-Gro Cactus, Palm, and Citrus Potting Mix, and let me tell you, it’s like the secret sauce for my plant collection. I mix it with other potting soil to create what I like to call the “Ultimate Plant Blend.” This mix is fantastic for adding a little extra magic to my cactus, palm, and citrus plants. It’s like giving them a VIP pass to the plant party – they get the perfect balance of nutrients and drainage to thrive. My plants seem to be loving their new soil combo, and they’re growing like they’re on plant steroids (but the legal, non-enhancing kind, of course). If you’re looking to make your plants feel like they’ve just stepped into a luxury spa, this potting mix is a great start. Just mix it with your favorite potting soil, and watch your plants enjoy the good life. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to give their green friends a little extra oomph!
Review: For the love of Cacti - A couple of years ago my mom asked if I’d be interested in a cactus or three (she had Christmas Cacti, Prickly Pear, and a kind she didn’t know; all of which she’d inherited). Having just found my green thumb and knowing that cacti were drought resistant I jumped at the chance. However, when I went to pick them up I ended up with ALL of them. A few she’d had since 1989, all of which she’d NEVER transplanted! Up until this year I had done my best to keep them alive, but some of the Christmas Cacti were dying off. The others, were thriving and even after getting rid of over a dozen Prickly Pear I was drowning in cacti (still am). Well I decided this year I was gonna do it right and buy the correct soil and save the Christmas Cacti! I purchased this and was a little afraid of root shock, so I took to my Prickly Pear and other cacti that are multiplying without my consent. Well, several injuries later, I transplanted a few pots and now.... I have even more multiplication going on! I also transplanted my aloe vera plant, because it had consumed all of its previous soil and was just a root ball with a little dirt. In the month since I have transplanted it, it’s doubled in size and was already pretty big! I did my research and discovered that while Prickly Pear and the other cacti (a finger-like cacti) are happy with little water, as they are desert cacti. Christmas Cacti are happy with MORE water, so to go with this I purchased some coco coir to hold more water for them. Then came the dreaded task of “Operation Save The Christmas Cacti”, as I want to give a couple away as Christmas gifts this year. So I sat down with everything I needed. I used a small amount of coco coir, as it is just to help with watering, but once rehydrated (I bought the compressed kind) I mixed it with this soil. And started dissecting the planters and getting rid of the old soil and finding my roots. The old soil was no longer holding water and I had been poking holes in it to get water to the roots. It seems as if I may have lost three or four four plants, but if I found a root system I thought might be able to be saved I replanted it. I replanted the first planter (of four) and was happy with the new arrangement, then set it aside. I replanted the second, was equally happy, went to set it next to planter one. And... what? Planter one’s plants were already noticeably happier, their leaves were brighter and were moving! I could see them perking up. Ok, maybe it’s just me. Nope, my dog is now standing between me and said planter and she looks concerned. I quickly tell her it’s ok, but by this time my other dog is now watching. They have now decided to stand guard. I finish up the third planter, and once again planter two is noticeably more happy. Now when doing planter four, this is the planter that has my plants that need that extra TLC, the oldest plants that were the most damaged. I decided to take a plant from each of the first three planters and place it in the fourth and add a extra TLC plant in it’s place in the original three planters as I ran out of the coco coir mixed soil, the fourth planter would also have a TLC plant in it. I had read that doing this can help plants ‘recover and heal’. With all four planters assembled, it was now after 9pm (which was the goal) so I watered everyone and went inside. I got up the following morning and my leaves were no longer ‘dingy’ and ‘dusty’ looking. They are bright and colorful. They are no longer droopy, but are perking up and within a couple days are budding. This is ALL four planters, not just the ones with coco coir. I have seen a little green coming from two of the four TLC plants so far. I have ordered a second bag and am going to transplant ALL of the other cacti, and most likely sell and/or give away a good portion of them as I too often get attacked by them if I look at them too long. I’m surprised my dog’s have not been attacked by them. I also have cats and I don’t need them jumping on cacti, which is why my from porch has looked like a cacti outlet for the last 4 months at least. Do I recommend? Absolutely! How ‘Cacti’ not buy this again!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Cactus like poorer soil. Why would they add miracle grow for cactus? Wouldn't that be too much for cactus? Is it okay for aloe Vera?**
A: Most cacti grow in sandy and/or rocky soil that drains off quickly. Many cacti have very shallow roots. That is why many cactus growers use shallow pots. Cacti and most succulents do not like to have wet roots. The roots will rot without proper drainage in a pot. This soil has peat moss as a major component. Peat holds in moisture. That is fine for someone that is growing young succulents but will not work for an adult plant. This soil will work if you are very careful to water sparingly. I add coarse sand, pumice, and more perlite for most of my cacti and succulents so that the roots do not sit in damp soil for a long time. If those cacti and succulents take in too much water they will die. Either the roots will start to rot or the plant takes in too much water cells burst and it dies. 
Would I want added synthetic supplements? No. I would prefer nutrition from real food. About 90% of supplements sold in this country in food for human consumption are synthetic. Not made from real food. Same is true for pet feed and fertilizer.  They are also processed in that country that makes so many of the things that we need to buy.

**Q: Can I use it on my truly tiny banana tree? They say they like quick draining soil**
A: I have a dwarf banana potted in this soil and it seems very "happy".

**Q: Can I use it on my truly tiny banana tree? They say they like quick draining soil**
A: It would be great for your tiny banana tree Good luck!!

**Q: I'm rooting a palm in water. Will this work when it's time to plant?**
A: A palm is a succulent so is a good fit for this potting mix. For best results amend it with a bit of vermiculite or perlite.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked great for potting succulents
*by O***I on February 26, 2024*

I ordered a bunch of succulents to give as gifts and I purchased this Miracle-Gro Cactus, Palm & Citrus Soil to use as potting soil. It worked great and the succulents are doing really well and are growing fast. This potting soil was easy to use and I just poured it from the bag right into the container. It was also way more economical than most of the other potting soils that were available. I will definitely buy this again.
