Is this any better for succulents than the all purpose miracle gro plant food? Not trying to spend a ton for specific food for all my plants. thanks

I always use Miracle Grow For Succulents. I have found that my succulents thrive, grow deeper, richer foliage, grow faster, and Christmas cacti bloom from October through March.This formula is made especially for succulents. Each plant species has it's own needs. This is the best food I have found for succulents.

I went to a class on cactus and succulents and the teacher said to use any plant food but he didn't find it helpful. I bought Liquid Cactus and my brother who also attended the class did not buy the succulent food. When he came to my house over a year later he said that my plants look like they're on steroids and his lood like they "need attention"

Yes, I believe this is better than Miracle Gro (which I do use for all my other plants). I noticed a difference after the very first time I used it. Succulents do not like much fertilizer, and I think the MG almost overpowers them. This stuff lasts a long time as you measure it out in DROPS. I love the product, it has made a difference.

The Miracle Gro Lawn food is in granules and no I don't think a spreader is a good idea because the pouches it comes in isn't very much. You could spread it with your hands though, say in a 20x20ft space and then saturate with water to dissolve the granules. I use Miracle Gro plant food that way.

Hi Molly, They are the same with the exception that the SGS Version I get has 230mg from Broccoli Seed Extract and 30 mg from SGS where as the ES concentrate provides 100 mg. The ES is a bit more costly as well. My nutritionist recommended the SGS version for me so that seems to work. I also found another equally as good that provides 60 mg of SGS by the name of BrocColinate Extra Strength 120 cps that i use now - sending well wishes , Peg

In the past, Schultz made a product specifically for cut flowers; I have an old bottle of it from the days when I had a cutting garden. Apparently Schultz no longer makes it. I see Miracle Gro has a specialty product for cut flowers, Miracle Gro Rose and Fresh Cut Flower Food. My best guess, vaguely recalling the reading I had done about cut flowers, would be that a fertilizer for living plants would not be appropriate for cut flowers; but it is just a guess.

Veg is excellent! With flowering, the light coverage is excellent but you have to buy 3k color bulbs and I'm not so sure on its ability for light to penetrate down into canopy.To make t5 flower successful you need to scrog, supercrop or get many nodes on canopy and you'd get amazing colas.It was worth the buy for me as its clean, barley any heat and light coverage was great for bushy and low plants.

If you don't like this one I found this on EBAY not to sure if it works or not BUT it might be something people might like to get around GMO http://www.ebay.com/itm/Smart-Garden-Aquaponics-System-Hydroponic-Agricultural-Aquaculture-/111121833855?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item19df609f7f... Or just buy a used one and use what ever type of seeds and fertilizers you want...

I have used the miracle grow liquid and it works wonderfully. Make sure though its a purely fluid plant food, some have chunks of special fertilizer in them, though those usually have their own special dispenser. I haven't had any issue with it so far using most plant foods :)

Low light plants like Anubias, java fern, and Crypts. I dont know if I would try it with others that need more. Definately not flourishing but very slow steady growth. I didnt buy it with the expectations that it would grow stuff, but tried it out just to see. I think I would go with something more powerful if growing plants was your goal.

First, PLEASE do not waste your money. About half of the little containers arrived with dead sprouts. I planted the cilantro and basil - and the basil never grew anything at all. The cilantro gave me about three little stems of cilantro after several weeks. Miracle-Gro makes many good products, but this one is just terrible. Good luck!

I never ordered again because I saw no difference. Opposite not needed, good feeding watering DOES make cactus grow like mad and yes, good organic food.

i've only used maxibloom from general hydroponics and found it to be barely soso as a fertilizer, that plus your question needs to be more to the point, what are you growing, how your growing, if your doing hydroponics and need a blooming fertilizer i would use greenlight superbloom, it won't gum up your system like general hydroponics. works go on whatever your growing.

Miracle-Gro no longer manufactures "Liquid Houseplant Food 8-7-6." You will not find it online. It hasn't been made for more than a year. Every website showing the picture of the original product either has not updated their info or doesn't care. It is the responsibility of the vendors to keep their inventory updated and current. If they don't, leave a review and notify Amazon.

No, I've used only Miracle Grow and it worked great. I'm sure your mix is even better.

I use organic fertilizers, like hydrolyzed fish from Neptunes Harvest, but I have used Miracle grow as well. It does a very nice job.

This works fine but the absolute best product that I've used is D-Earth (Diatomaceous), but you have to make sure it's the food grade. It's great for everything & it perfectly safe around pets & children. Research it and you will see why it's so good.
