– Shelf Life of Miracle-gro Water-soluble Plant Food
It is recommended to use it within three years for optimum efficacy. The water-soluble, or the miracle-gro blue powder, plant feed has an indefinite shelf life, provided it is stored and kept sealed properly.
While fertilizer used in the right quantities can indeed promote houseplant growth, when overdoing it, you hinder the very growth you want. In fact, you're slowly killing your plant, and so its foliage, stems, or roots may be undersized. They'll also look brittle, crinkled, wilted, or limp.
Make the last fertilizer application before July 1.
New growth also needs time to "harden off" before winter. Tender new growth is at risk of cold injury if it is forced late in the season, when plants and trees should be shutting down for winter.
For the best results, you should use miracle gro every two weeks. You can also use it once every week for outdoor plants, but a gap of two weeks is ideal. However, make sure to keep an eye on the warning signs that ask you to stop using further miracle gro due to overdosing.
The problem with MG is that the nitrogen is derived from synthetic ammonium and water soluble nitrates, producing off-chemicals that are harmful to soil microbes, worms, and all other forms of life in the soil.
The main issue with this fertilizer is that it contains a lot of nitrogen. This component comes from synthetic materials, which produce chemicals potentially harmful to the soil and the plants that aren't listed as active ingredients.

Directions for Use – Dilute Miracle with water before application. Do not store diluted product. Carefully read label directions before use. OUTDOOR PLANTS – Two great methods for feeding your garden…
Fertilize outdoor plants in the coolest part of the day, such as early morning or late evening, especially in hot summer weather. Always water in fertilizers well to distribute nutrients throughout the soil profile and to prevent burning.
You should take a break from feeding your plants during a heat wave or drought. However, to prepare them for conditions that could cause heat stress, regularly give them Miracle-Gro® Water Soluble All Purpose Plant Food (following all label directions) so they're nice and strong before the unfortunate weather arrives.
For soil growers, plants can be fed once every second or third watering. If plants are fed with every watering then nutrient buildup and lockup becomes a problem causing stunted growth, “crows foot” (curling downwards of the leaves), leaf burn, deficiency symptoms, burnt and damaged root system and decreased yields.
For spectacular results, feed every 7 to 14 days, anytime during the growing season.
Water and Feed Your Perennials
You can easily water and feed at the same time with Miracle-Gro® Liquafeed®. When watering, avoid perennials' leaves to prevent disease, and aim for a soil consistency that is neither too wet nor too dry.
Provide Slow, Deep Watering
If you are unsure how long to water new plants, aim for 30-60 seconds for small plants – longer for larger plants while moving the hose to a few locations around the plant. Avoid watering when the soil feels moist. The earth must be allowed to dry out between watering.
