Questions & Answers

I've got a two year old Anna apple tree that's not doing very well (primarily thanks to Hurricane Beryl last year 🙄). I'm in Zone 9. How much prepared Miracle Gro Quick Start should I use to get the root ball to wake up and get the tree growing again?

Answer This Question

For Miracle-Gro Quick Start Planting & Transplant Starting Solution is best suited right after planting, pour 1 quart of diluted Quick Start solution around the base of the plant. For larger plants, use several quarts. Repeat this application in 7 days. We do recommend following all instructions listed on the packaging to yield the best results. If you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to reach out 877-220-3089 at your earliest convenience and we are happy to assist further.

    Answer This Question

    We have not done any testing for that purpose on the Miracle-Gro Quick Start Planting & Transplant Starting Solution. We recommend using around new plantings to settle the soil and feed the roots. Feed at time of transplant and again 7 days later. Thereafter, begin regular feeding with the appropriate Miracle-Gro Plant Food every 7-14 days.

      Answer This Question

      The label do es state that it is safe for all flower and vegetable transplants. It stimulates root growth for the plant. It is just for transplants or new plantings. I would not recommend using it for just seeds. The plants will need a root system.

          Can I use this to start regrowth to heavily pruned hedge row to prompt regrowth soon after pruning?
          ByMar 21, 2024
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          The Miracle-Gro Quick Start can be used on shrubs. You do not want to trim or prune before use as you want as much foliage as possible to absorb the plant food. Once the product has dried pruning is fine.

              Answer This Question

              Miracle-Gro Quick Start is a straight fertilizer that technically can be used on any grass type. However, plant foods are not the best choice for a lawn because the NPK ratio is not optimized for lawn needs. Also some states, cities, or counties have restrictions on applying phosphorus to the lawn.

                  insane growth
                  I came upon this product on the home depot app and decided to purchase it. Best decision I've ever made. I started growing my sunflowers (from seed) in late may without any quick start. I started adding quick start to my sunflowers 2.5 - 3.5 weeks old (ie. first image). They outgrew the little pots within 1.5 weeks so I decided to transplant them in a 22 inch pot. I continued to add quick start and within 2 weeks, they grew 4 times taller and their stems were 3 times thicker. I can't believe how amazing their transformation has been and they haven't blossomed yet. I can't wait for that. I have nothing bad to say about this product. It has done wonders to my plants and it will do it to yours too.

                    We have used this product for years and have always been impressed with it's performance. We are especially pleased with the results we see in planting Colorado Blue Spruce Trees at our cabin when we use this product. The young trees always seem to thrive when we use QuickStart and seem to struggle when we don't.

                    I use this solution for transplanting seedlings all the time. It's my first time rating it. It's not perfect, but it has helped some very delicate plants to live another day.
