Can I use Miracle-Gro Houseplant Potting Mix for my plumosa fern?

That’s the only soil I have and I’m not sure if it works for plumosa ferns or ming ferns. Thanks!

It’s all purpose soil it should be fine. However, a well draining soil would be better with peat moss, but if you don’t have it I would add some perlite to that soil.

Got it, thanks! It does say it’s a mix of peat moss and perlite! I don’t have perlite but wondering if I need to buy and add some to it

I would but if you get a pot with good drainage you should be ok
