Is Dr Earth Pot of Gold Potting Soil the same as an old brand named Brown Earth?

45 years ago, as taught by my green thumbed mom, the Brown Earth brand produced the most beautiful plants I have ever grown...Spectacular! Never been able to have these results as when it was only available through the Feed and Seed companies...Sadly no longer in Georgia. I am most concerned and need quick help as my 40 year old HOYAS "WAX PLANTS"...Are dying ( my fault... a cold snap surprise froze most of my leaves and lengthy runners). I am totally heartbroken over the loss, and must put my remaining survivors immediately in intensive care...Can u suggest? All we added was vermiculite to this mix. Greatfully accept your recommendations..Thank you...Very Mucho

Answer:

With so many potential brands on the market of potting soil mixes and name changes over the years we couldnt say if this is the same mixture as your mom used before. The Dr Earth brand of potting soils are great and if you want to know more info on the compositions of them you can give them a call at 707-448-4676. The closest thing we could find online to Brown Earth in Georgia tha you mentioned looks like it comes from Craven Pottery which may be the original company your mom got the product from.
