I would never use 'miracle grow' anything. I think it is all overhyped. I purchased some 'miracle (if it grows)' potting mix for orchids. Unlike many types of potting mix that have at least part of the plastic bag as clear plastic so you can see what is really inside, this one was not clear anywhere. This should have been a red flag. Well, when I opened it, it was mostly shredded pieces of wood (maybe leftovers from a landscaper / tree remover) and shredded (not chunks of) bark - possibly useful for cymbidiums, zygopetalums or semi-terrestrial type orchids that like lots of moisture retention, but for most type of common orchids (oncidium / dendrobium / cattleya) it was a total waste. Burn me concerning orchids, lose me as a customer forever.

Their fertilizer is also mostly waste because it contains high amounts of useless 'filler' material, and very little actual fertilizer. Also, it would not be useful on orchids due to the nitrogen (first number in a 10-10-10 ) being mostly urea or ammonia, and very little actual nitrate or nitrous form which would be readily usable by most plants. Urea takes time to break down into Ammonia which takes more time to break down into actual useful nitrates. But urea is very cheap to obtain for the company so it maximizes their profits at the expense of expectant / duped customers. No thank you.
