Botanicare ReadyGro Moisture - 1.75cu ft

Higher-Retention Growing Blend for Larger Plants, Moisture Formula

Larger plants and hand-watered setups draw down moisture faster than a lighter growing blend can keep up with, which leaves roots going dry between waterings more often than growers would like. Botanicare ReadyGro Moisture Formula contains more coir fiber and pumice stone than the line's Aeration Formula, built specifically for that enhanced moisture retention.

This 1.75cu ft bag suits hand-watering and larger plants that need more anchoring in the pot, extending moisture content for longer periods between feedings than a lighter blend would provide.

Key Features & Benefits

• Suited to Hand-Watering — performs well outside of automated wicking systems as well as within them
• Plant Anchoring Support — helps anchor larger plants securely in pots and planters
• Extended Feeding Intervals — enhances moisture content for longer periods between feedings

Who Should Use ReadyGro Moisture Formula

This formula suits growers hand-watering larger plants that need more anchoring and moisture retention than the lighter Aeration Formula provides, whether in an automated hydrogarden or a standard container.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Moisture Formula different from ReadyGro Aeration?

Moisture Formula contains more coir fiber and pumice stone, which gives it greater moisture retention than the lighter, higher-air Aeration Formula. Aeration suits small to midsize plants, while Moisture is built for larger plants and hand-watering.

Can I hand-water plants grown in ReadyGro Moisture Formula?

Yes, this formula is specifically suited to hand-watering rather than only automated wicking systems. Its higher moisture retention keeps larger plants from drying out as quickly between manual waterings.

Does this formula help anchor larger plants?

Yes, the added coir fiber and pumice stone content provides plant anchoring support, which matters more as plants get larger and heavier in the pot. That anchoring reduces the chance of a top-heavy plant shifting or tipping.

What size bag is this and how far does it go?

This listing is a 1.75cu ft bag of ReadyGro Moisture Formula. Coverage depends on container size and how many plants you are potting, since larger containers will use more of the bag per plant.
