Growing in a regular pot, not self watered requires a good draining mix and a mix that allows air to get to the roots. MG is not it.
A highly recommended mix I tried when using those kinds of containers is called 5-1-1.
5 parts fine pine bark, 1 part peat moss and 1 part perlite.
You could use 1 part of that MG potting mix instead of peat moss.
If you can't find the fine pine bark You could use the smallest pine bark mulch you can get and maybe up the perlite to 2 parts. 5-1-2.
