So I just went to the store and the only soil they had was miracle grow special for orchids, so I bought it but this won't be bad for my plants, right? I have two that have been going for a month now, and I'm about to transplant them but I'm just making sure

That is correct. Time release is like a ticking bomb. Ya know when it released when your plants burn to a crisp from nute burn. Miracle grow organic soil is good ya may want to add some perlite or vermiculite to for air and so forth.

Shit

I've had my plants in some MG soil since early January and they're doing fine just outgrowing their pots but this is a different kind of soil for a different flower I guess

I'll just get some organic soil this weekend
