i have used Miracle Gro products for years, and have had great results, so i really wanted to try this. It works just like all their products.....fantastic!!! This will be hard to believe because it's the very first time this has happened to me. i planted 2 tomato plants using this Miracle Gro product. After only 6 days, i had 1 green tomato appear, which i have the picture attached. I have never had a tomato grow on a plant in only 6 days. This was the first time that has ever happened. The rose is absolutely beautiful, and from a new plant. I attached that picture as well. I planted all new plants, which are shown with the solar lights. The plants are doing very well. I was so amazed and thrilled with this. i will definitely be using it again, and I highly recommend it!!
I like the amount of peat moss in this bag. Perfect amount for a 16-22 inch pot. I use it for my hydrangea, hibiscus, and azaleas. It's easy to use and mix in your pot. It helps hold moisture without becoming waterlogged, which is vital for these plants. The ease of use in this size bag makes it my go to for each pot. It's not too heavy to manage. I use a whole bag of this size in my pots and barrels.
This Miracle-Grow Sphagnum peat moss is light and fluffy. I'm adding it to my container blueberry potting mix. Certain plants with flowers (like hydrangeas) also benefit from adding sphagnum peat moss to their potting mixtures. Adding this sphagnum peat moss to my container blueberry mix will help aerate and balance its pH. Sphagnum peat moss also helps with water retention when added to potting mixes. A small amount of sphagnum peat goes a long way. This 8 qt bag is large enough to amend several containers. Most soil mixes don't need very much sphagnum peat to help retain water, elevate pH and aerate plant roots.
I was unable to keep two plants looking healthy. Was given two new ones with directions to plant with peat moss. Now, have four healthy looking rhododendron plants thriving. My ground was just too hard and mostly clay. Peat moss saved the day and plants.
It does the job. I transplanted about two weeks ago and my split leaf philodendrons have several new leaves, my Swiss cheese plants have quite a few new leaves unfurling, all of my plants are benefiting, greatly!

I bought Miracle-Gro Sphagnum Peat Moss because my wife pointed at it and said, "We need this for the plants." As someone whose gardening expertise is mostly limited to identifying plants as either "alive" or "not alive," I had questions. Mainly: "What even is peat moss?" The bag appears to contain what can only be described as premium swamp leftovers. I opened it expecting soil. Instead, I found a fluffy brown substance that looked like it had been carefully harvested from the floor of an enchanted forest. My first thought was: "There's no way plants care about this." Apparently they do. A lot. The plants absolutely love it. The label says it helps retain moisture, improves soil conditions, and works for both containers and in-ground plants. I can't independently verify any of that because every time I ask a plant for feedback, it refuses to participate in the survey. What I can tell you is that after mixing this stuff into pots and garden beds, my wife's plants started thriving. The plants looked happier. The flowers looked happier. Even the tomato plants seemed slightly smug. Meanwhile, I was standing there wondering how decomposed moss had somehow become a cornerstone of modern civilization. The texture is particularly fascinating. It's incredibly light. I picked up a handful and briefly worried I might accidentally inhale an entire ecosystem. The peat moss also expands and fluffs up in ways that seem mildly suspicious. Add water, and suddenly it looks like it's performing a science demonstration. At one point I became convinced that if left unattended, it might achieve sentience and start offering gardening advice. The best part is that it works in containers and in-ground. For those unfamiliar with gardening, those are apparently the two locations where plants generally live, making this product remarkably versatile. Five stars. I still don't fully understand what peat moss is, where it comes from, or why plants are so excited about it. But it's making things grow, my wife keeps buying it, and that's usually all the evidence I need. 🌱😂🏆
The best peet moss I ever bought made my seed strawberries grow, Serrano chiles grow by keeping moisture and absorbing water
i add this a perlite in my houseplant mix. its great! plants are happ,, i add in organic crap, worm poop, all that good stuff and they love it. eveyttumes i went fishing, i and extra thing if worms, what i don't use went into a rock flowerbed, that was the best soil EVER!!
i keep losing money every week. 90% of the time something is missing (not eveb including substitution snafus)...gotta find new app instead of claiming returns on half my items, idk how this sales model will make woth wothout some database managememt and oversight.
