What Makes Miracle-Gro Work?

Anchorage

• Miracle-Gro potting products provide the necessities for newly planted flowers and foliage plants. The mixture anchors the plant in the soil, allowing roots to develop properly and supporting upright growth.

Fertilizer Included in Mix

• The fertilizer ratio of phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen (NPK) is appropriately proportioned to meet the needs of most plants. NPK are basic macro-nutrients for plant growth. Research individual plant specimens to learn their exact requirements for nutrients. Additional fertilization can be added to Miracle-Gro potting mixes.

Drainage

• The soil or mix has appropriate drainage capabilities, while holding the right amount of moisture to keep the plant healthy. If sharper drainage is needed for your plant, additions such as perlite, vermiculite or organic compost can be mixed with Miracle-Gro soils.

Choose the right Mix

• These factors vary according to plant material. A range of formulations for a variety of plants are available in the Miracle-Gro line. Choose the right mix for your plant.
