Black Gold All-Purpose Potting Soil with RESiLIENCE | 1.5cu ft - 50/PL

Moisture-Retentive Potting Mix With 6-Month Feed, 1.5cu ft

Container plants dry out faster than in-ground beds, and a mix that drains too quickly leaves a grower watering daily just to keep up. Black Gold All-Purpose Potting Mix with RESiLIENCE is built for that container reality: it holds moisture well while still draining freely, and a built-in controlled-release fertilizer keeps feeding the plant for months after potting.

This 1.5cu ft bag is specially formulated with a controlled-release fertilizer for up to six months of feeding, suited to both indoor and outdoor container plantings.

Key Features & Benefits

• Superior Moisture Retention — keeps container plants consistently hydrated between waterings.
• Excellent Drainage — reduces the risk of waterlogged roots even with strong moisture retention.
• Six-Month Controlled-Release Feed — keeps feeding the plant well past the initial potting.
• Indoor & Outdoor Use — suited to a wide range of container plantings in either setting.

Who Should Use Black Gold All-Purpose Potting Mix

This mix suits gardeners who want a low-maintenance, moisture-retentive potting soil for containers indoors or out, without mixing in a separate fertilizer for the first several months.

About Black Gold

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the fertilizer in this mix feed plants?

Up to six months from potting, thanks to the controlled-release fertilizer blended into the mix. Growers still get to choose whether to supplement with additional feeding after that window closes.

Is this mix suited to outdoor containers?

Yes, it's formulated for both indoor and outdoor container plantings, balancing moisture retention with drainage in either setting. That makes it a fit for patio pots as well as houseplants.

What size does this bag come in?

This bag holds 1.5cu ft. The cubic-foot sizes suit larger container plantings and multiple pots at once.

Does this mix drain well despite retaining moisture?

Yes, it's built to hold moisture for container plants while still draining freely enough to avoid waterlogged roots. That balance is what lets it go longer between waterings without staying soggy.
