Great product my plants love it

I love this soil, so does my plants and garden. It's light and airy with great nutrients.

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.

Great soil but came in really high on PH - Read everywhere online this is supposed to be a 5.5 - 7 PH soil but it was reading at 8.5 - 9. Which was less than Ideal for my Organic Roma's that I intended to use it for. After mixing with some Organic Miracle Gro, I was able to cut it down to a 6.8 which is basically perfect for my Roma's. But that took time and effort to get it there. Be wary if purchasing this soil for Fruit and Vegetable gardening as it may cause issues or not provide the nutrients needed by your plant! Tread carefully!

This soil mix has been a godsend for my babies. With little amending (perlite and the such), it is suitable for most of mi plants. My plants have been greener and shooting out new growth like crazy ever since repotting them in this medium. The earthy smell is heavenly. For those like me who don’t really have an idea about size (lol) be warned, this bag is huge!

I've used this soil blend for years. It works great! The soil is balanced, and you can use it for anything you'd like to plant.
