Miracle-Gro Liquid All Purpose Plant Food

This is definitely an effective and more economical liquid fertilizer than anything else I have used. The smaller weaker version that costs around $4-$5 pump style bottle (1-1-1) also works but it will get used up very fast if you have more than 3 plants or larger indoor plant.The beauty of the liquid fertilizer is that you can use it at 1/2 strength or control how strong or diluted you want to use it based on your needs.Green leaves and new growth really impressed me!Pros:It really works.You can control the strength.Cons:Bottle could leak during shipping.You could kill your plants if you overdose.

I've used this on my Madagascar dragon tree, my philodendron, and my succulents. They are very healthy and growing like crazy.

I've only been able to garden outside in the dirt for two years. Before this I've lived in apartments and as an adult I usually have herbs and flowers in pots. That first year I could dig in the dirt, I fished out my old bottle of Miracle-Gro plant food and I had excellent success with all my plants. I thought of getting some fancier (more expensive) fertilizers more specific to my little crop of pepper and tomatoes, my roses and potted begonias. But in the end I just stuck with this food. The roses did fine (they were double knockouts) and the begonias were amazing. It really made me look like I had a green thumb - which I don't believe I have. I just read the instructions and google :)Anyhow, I ordered more of the same. But this year we moved across country, time zones and climates and the roses available in our rental are not double knockouts like I had last year. I am not sure what they are, but maybe more traditional? The kind that really need expert gardeners, which I am not. They are doing well, but are not blooming consistently like the ones I had last year. I will not be buying anything fancier than this though. At this point I just want to keep them alive and fresh. (I also give them organic "medicine" for pests).This is an excellent product, perfect to simplify the process of feeding your plants for people with little experience.

Amazon knows this bottle leaks. Yet they shipped it in a large box with very little packaging. They could also use tape on the lid! But NO! Poorly done Amazon! Great product. I didn't return it because only a couple teaspoons leaked out.

Then I get the water soluble blue stuff I used to water my beutiful garden with. And add a scoop when bottles empty. I now have deer so they had to go in ports on the deck. No more front yard of flowers and trees.Everyone in my older neiborhood in Portland would stop by with my cat around my shoulders ( cat loved me) and chats, take pictures, and I'd say, miracle grow is my secret.I has cosmos seed over 6ft tall! A corkscrew willow branch i made a tree, put morning glory's on the bottom, 7 different color's, they'd say, what kind of tree? I'd say, morning glory's tree..lol.But I had so many yarrow, we started trading plants.It was fun.Portland was good for that.I miss it.( don't forget start up or cheap B1 transplant solution.I was a housekeeper for multi millionaires and took care of their indoor plant's they thought I was good. It was mirical grow. And bloom plus or whatever they had.They loved me or mirical grow. When I moved they said their plant's died. I said, they missed me.

The media could not be loaded. About 4 years ago I had some ferns that grew to beautiful full lushness. They cascaded over the pot and down to the railing. They were the most beautiful ferns, and since then I've not been had any ferns that ever matched those. I couldn't figure it out. Until my friend said, 'I'd forgotten about this, but remember you used that Miracle Grow stuff on those ferns 4 years ago. Have you used it since?' and I'll be-danged I had not been using it and had simply also forgotten I'd done that. 4 Years ago, I'd used up the last of my MG on those ferns and never thought to purchase more. So this year, I'm Miracle Gro'ing these new ferns and I can't wait to see if they do the same! I'm betting they will do beautifully.Just be sure you absolutely do not use it full strength or you will 'burn' your plant(s)/flowers, and as well be sure to dilute it according to the directions. Too much will ruin your plants/flowers. I even use a little bit less than the directions ask for, and only every 2 weeks, as they instruct.Update! Wow! My plants look amazing- I’ve even managed to grow a couple of small half-dead poinsettias left over from Christmas!

Product seems fine but as other's had the problem too....IT HAD LEAKED WITHIN THE BOX. Why is there not a plastic bag around this product? What a mess....fortunately, only a small amount had leaked and it all stayed within the box. It may be worthy of a 5 star but because it leaked...it gets a 3 star. It had leaked all over the instructions so some of it was non-readable.Come on...put it in a bag or TAPE THE LID SHUT!!!

I have always used Miracle Grow for both my inside and outside plants. This product arrived quickly although some had leaked out but the seller did a wonderful job to protect it so not sure why this happened.Since the is liquid, it is easy to use but I think I might go back to the product in the box.
