You need to check your Miracle Gro Peat Moss bag and see if there is any fertilizer or additives in it. If there are no additives, just pure Peat Moss, then You're OK. But if there is fertilizer or minerals or vitamins or anything like PH control additives then you have to repot your plant. The Peat Moss is fine, the additivews will kill your plant.

I used to use Miracle Gro years ago, before they started adding all that stuff into it.

Good growing,
Mike
