Miracle-Gro Expand 'n Gro Concentrated Planting Mix is designed to be used as a potting medium for containers or as a soil amendment for in-ground beds. When you add water, it expands up to 3X, giving you bulk as you go. It also includes plant-available nutrients to support growth for up to six months, so your plants can reach and maintain their vigor longer between feedings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned with gardeners in mind, the mix uses all-natural fibers that help manage moisture more efficiently. These fibers can hold up to 50% more water than basic potting soils, releasing it as roots demand it. In-ground gardens benefit from a lighter soil structure—up to 40% lighter—and up to 90% more air space around roots, which can help ensure healthy root development. A single 0.67 cu ft bag is versatile enough to fill four 12-inch containers or cover about 8 square feet of garden space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey benefits at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpands up to 3X when mixed with water, giving you bulk as you grow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFeeds plants for up to 6 months, supporting sustained growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll-natural fibers hold up to 50% more water than basic potting mix and provide steady release.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhen used in-ground, soil becomes up to 40% lighter and gains up to 90% more air space for roots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne bag covers four 12-inch containers or about 8 sq ft of garden area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContainer use: Start by filling the pot about one-third full with the mix.
