Miracle-gro 74278430 Perlite Potting Mix 8 Qt

Product Description

The MIRACLE-GRO 74278430 is an 8-quart perlite potting mix designed to improve soil structure in container growing applications. Formulated to prevent soil compaction, it promotes strong root development and enhances drainage and aeration in potting mixes. The lightweight media is also effective for starting root cuttings. Enriched with Miracle-Gro plant food, this perlite blend supports healthy plant establishment in above-ground container environments. It is suitable for use by horticulture professionals, nursery staff, and experienced home gardeners managing container plantings.

This perlite mix is intended exclusively for use in container plants — not for in-ground applications. It is well-suited to potting operations where improved aeration and drainage are needed, including transplanting, propagation from cuttings, and refreshing existing container potting mixes.
