Comparison: Best Miracle Gro Performance Organics Liquid (Updated | Nov 11th)

Liquid fertilizers, like Miracle-Gro Performance Organics Edibles Plant Nutrition, are absorbed quickly and are ideal for fast feeding cycles, typically every 7 days. Granular options, such as Miracle-Gro Performance Organics All Purpose Plant Nutrition Granules, release nutrients slowly over weeks, reducing the frequency of application. Choose liquid if you want rapid results, and granules if you prefer a more hands‑off, long‑lasting feed.

For container gardening, the Miracle‑Gro Performance Organics All Purpose Container Mix provides an organic soil base that feeds plants for up to three months, eliminating the need for separate fertilizer. Pair it with the Performance Organics Edibles Plant Nutrition liquid feed for a quick nutrient boost every week. This combination gives both a nutrient‑rich growing medium and instant feeding power.

Both the single 32‑oz bottle and the 2‑pack contain the same 94% plant‑based formula, but the 2‑pack offers a lower cost per ounce and more diluted solution for larger gardens. If you have multiple planting zones or plan to feed regularly, the 2‑pack provides better bulk value. For occasional use or smaller spaces, the single bottle may be more convenient.

Yes, OMRI‑listed products like Miracle‑Gro Performance Organics Edibles Plant Nutrition and the Blooms Plant Nutrition Granules are certified for organic use and contain no synthetic chemicals, making them safe for indoor houseplants. They can be diluted according to label directions and applied to soil or containers inside the home. Always ensure proper ventilation and avoid over‑watering to prevent root issues.

Liquid feeds such as Miracle‑Gro Performance Organics Edibles Plant Nutrition or True Organic All Purpose Liquid Plant Food are typically applied every 7‑14 days, depending on plant type and growth stage. Granular feeds like the Performance Organics All Purpose Plant Nutrition Granules or Blooms Granules are re‑applied every 4‑6 weeks, allowing nutrients to release slowly. Follow the label recommendations for each product to avoid over‑fertilizing.

Nutrient ratios indicate the balance of nitrogen (growth), phosphorus (root and flower development), and potassium (overall health). Miracle‑Gro Liquid All Purpose Plant Food has a 12‑4‑8 ratio, favoring foliage growth, while the Blooms Granules focus on flowering with a higher phosphorus content. Choose a ratio that matches your plant’s current stage—higher nitrogen for leafy growth, higher phosphorus for blooms, and balanced ratios for general health.

Coverage varies by formulation and application method: the Performance Organics Edibles Plant Nutrition liquid feed covers up to 265 sq ft when used with the garden feeder, while the Blooms Granules cover about 165 sq ft per application. Granular All Purpose Plant Nutrition covers a larger area per bag due to its dry form, typically a few hundred square feet depending on soil depth. Always calculate the needed amount based on square footage and recommended application rates.

Performance Organics blends aged compost, natural minerals, and plant‑derived nutrients, delivering a balanced organic formula that meets OMRI standards. In contrast, True Organic emphasizes 100% natural ingredients like fish emulsion and kelp, while Espoma Grow! uses kelp extracts and humic acids for a milder 2‑2‑2 ratio. The Performance line provides a stronger nutrient profile for faster results, whereas the others focus on gentle, sustainable feeding.
