Botanicare Readygro Moisture 2 Yard Tote

Moisture-Retentive Soilless Mix for Large Plants, Bulk 2 Yard Tote

Large plants in big containers can outpace a light, fast-draining mix between waterings, especially in hand-watered setups where feeding isn't on a tightly automated schedule. Botanicare ReadyGro Moisture Formula addresses that with an 80/20 coir-to-perlite ratio, holding more water in the root zone for longer than a mix built for quick drainage.

This formula suits large plants in hand-watered or automated pots and planters; growers with small to midsize plants in fully automated systems should compare against ReadyGro Aeration Formula instead.

Key Features & Benefits

• 80/20 coir and perlite blend — holds more moisture for longer between feedings than the Aeration Formula.
• Montmorillonite clay — supports soil structure and water retention.
• Leonardite — conditions the mix and supports nutrient absorption and microbial activity.
• Yucca extract — improves liquid dispersion through the mix.
• Bulk 2-yard tote — sized for commercial-scale hand-watered or automated planter installations with large plants.

Who Should Use ReadyGro Moisture Formula

This formula fits growers hand-watering large plants, or running automated pots and planters where longer moisture retention between feedings matters more than fast drainage. Small to midsize plants in fully automated hydrogardens are typically better matched to the Aeration Formula.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 80/20 coir-to-perlite ratio do?

The higher coir content compared to the Aeration Formula lets the mix hold more moisture for longer periods, reducing how often large plants need watering or feeding.

How is this different from ReadyGro Aeration Formula?

Moisture Formula uses more coir and less perlite than Aeration Formula, retaining water longer for large, hand-watered plants, while Aeration Formula drains faster and suits small to midsize plants in fully automated systems.

Can this mix be used with hand-watering as well as automated systems?

Yes, it's specifically formulated for hand-watering as well as automated pots and planters with large plants.

Do I need to fertilize on a schedule with this mix?

Yes, ReadyGro is designed for growers who want full control over nutrition through fertilization starting at transplant, rather than relying on a soil-based nutrient charge.

How much does a 2-yard tote cover?

A 2 cubic yard tote is a bulk commercial quantity, sized for filling many large containers rather than a handful of pots.
