I want to plant amaryllis bulbs in this.** A: It is always advisable to ph test your potting mix. I do mine regularly whether it is a complete 'scratch' batch of mix that I make or whether it is a bagged product from Amazon like Black Gold. Also, I water with 1 gallon spring water and 1/4 tsp Miracle Gro Miracid twice a month and the other waterings I use 1 gallon spring water with 1/4 tsp Jacks 20-20-20. Once I started the Miracid on all my plants, they responded quickly and had a flush of growth, turned a better color of rich green, any variegation improved, and flowers became larger and more vivid in color. You do not realize the importance of ph until you see the results! **Q: Did I over look it? I can't find the amount of potting mix in a bag?** A: 8 qt. (8.8L) **Q: Do these bags arrive with holes in them? strange question but i've had 2 bags of hoffman arrive with holes : (** A: Do you mean broken, leaking holes? No, but there are tiny perforated holes from manufacturer that seem to just be breather holes too tiny to leak soil. **Q: I keep reading reviews about insects and mold in various potting brands. Do most recommend microwave or oven before use or even opening?** A: Although this sealed bag of soil is probably free of insects, any soil can easily become infected with fungus gnats. I recommend sterilizing any soil before using it. It's much easier to prevent having gnats than it is to eliminate them once you have them in your potted plants. You can google how to do this correctly. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sun Gro Horticulture Black Gold African Violet Mix - Schultz African Violet Plus Plant Food 8-14-9, 4 fl oz. 1061 - Fayoula Self Watering Plant Pot, 6 Inch African Violet Pots Maintenance, Ceramic Self-Watering Planter for Indoor Plants - Ideal Flower Pot for Thriving Indoor Gardens --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/15483984-horticulture-black-gold-african-violet-mix](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/15483984-horticulture-black-gold-african-violet-mix) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-10-25*
