I bought what I thought was potting soil at the local nursery, for some container plants - both houseplants that will need repotting, and a mint plant i am growing in a big basket on my porch. But after I potted the mint, and something i am rooting, i noticed that it holds water forever. And now I look at the bag and it is Miracle Grow Garden Soil - for outdoor plants. Can I still use it for potted plants? It cost $9, and i've got the rooted plants and the mint already in it. I looked at the Scott's website and it says not for use for potted plants. I'm concerned about not having good drainage. What to do? I'm so mad at the nursery man for selling me the wrong thing!!! Should i repot the mint, by knocking all the soil off? The other is two sprigs of wandering Jew. please help!
