All Good
I chose Fox Farm soil (anew choice), for repotting my Boston Fern and for a leggy Monstera houseplant. After reading the reviews, Fox Farm soil seemed to be a good choice for houseplants to grow in and for taking new starts from a plant, aka cuttings. Both my Fern and Monstera plants prefer slightly acidic soil and so I tested the new soil’s PH and it’s at 7.0. The PH level is another detail needed to consider for my new little plant fledglings (cuttings from the Monstera).Even so I still repotted Fern and will soon be repotting the Monstera plant and it’s cuttings that need a 5.5 – 6.5 PH. The Fern needs a 6.5 – 6.8 PH, so it was close enough to be repotted in the new soil. The Fern’s fronds, (leaves), were always dropping right in the soil area. Pine trees do that too if the soil isn’t acidic enough they will drop pine needle debris to cover the ground, around the base, to lower the PH where they are growing.So this time, my houseplants will have a good restart using an upgraded quality soil (Fox Farm) paired with more attention to their PH balance. I will still use the soil for my Monstera plant and cuttings after amending with aluminum sulfate to change the PH down to 5.5 – 6.5. The soil is all good and I enjoy the process in taking care of houseplants and choosing a quality houseplant soil.When repotting Fern, I noticed the soil was fluffy and had its own perlite and organic material in it. I added more perlite and tea from tea bags to the dirt. There were no signs of pest. It watered well and drained well. I’m looking forward to seeing new fronds this spring from our Fern houseplant.

Plants LOVE this stuff!
If you’re growing anything that fruits – GET THIS! Seriously, this stuff is magical or something.I’m an entry-level gardener at best, but this soil makes me look like a pro! The plants love the nutrition they get from this soil!It’s super easy to use, no mixing, no fussing, just add your plant. Water retention is great! So, if you have something more prone to root rot, add some extra perlite/larger media.My plants exploded in size when they started to uptake the nutrient in this soil. They grew twice their original size in a matter of 2 weeks!I added about 1 cubic foot of this soil under my roses before I planted them outside. This soil retains the water they need down deep to promote very healthy roses!I will definitelt buy some more when the need arises! Top quality soil!

Perfect for Planting
My go-to mix for planting. I have used this for years with success. I mix it with equal part of orchid bark and perlite. The soil mix is rich, but fast draining. Plants love it.

Mixed well for my tree.
I got this to add to a few other soils for my large tree that is in desperate need of help. It is a good quantity and quality for the bag size. Easy to add to the pot and mix in.

Pretty good, but stays wet too long
I thought that I really liked this stuff at first, but now I feel it’s just ok. When I first got it and mixed up a big batch of soil to pot some plants, I added extra perlite and accidentally added a little more than I’d meant to, almost too much of it. But my plants seemed to do fine so I thought this soil was pretty good. I recently mixed up some more using this bag to repot some plants, and I added a little extra perlite again – but this time less, just the normal amount I’d add for leafy plants. All of the plants are staying wet for so long every time I water them.1 plant has died in it (using the same care/watering schedule I’d been using before repotting), and another is showing signs of root rot and is nearly dead. The plant that’s showing root rot signs was watered 4 days ago, I’ve had it in front of a fan for 12 hours yesterday and today trying to dry it out, and the dirt is still currently soaked.This is also definitely rich soil – not a bad thing, but just something to be aware of. A few plants reacted badly when I added a normal amount of liquid fertilizer a few weeks after they’d been repotted in this, and I believe it’s probably because the soil was already nutrient heavy and it overloaded the plants. It seems like decent soil overall, just know you’ll definitely have to add plenty of perlite or something else for drainage.

Quality soil
First off have some different strains growing. I have noticed that this soil verses other soil your plants thrive and flourish. Verses other soils not as good.My plants were dying or just not really growing big. I switched them to this soil and the roots thickened and they started growing fast. I love the quality of this soil. It’s sucks the cost but it’s because the ingredients on it. If you made your own blend with similar ingredients you would spend a lot this is high quality I won’t use anything else now.I also am in I’ve with the cal-mal, and different plant foods by this company. It’s worth it and you will notice the difference. Someone else told me to get it I saw cost and was like hard ummmm no. But after using it there is no way I would get anything else.Okay I am done writing the book here.
