Botanicare ReadyGro Aeration Formula

ReadyGro Aeration is a 60/40 blend of coir, perlite and amendments. The Aeration formula is specifically designed to retain less moisture, providing a faster dry back period between irrigation events. It contains buffered coir amended with montmorillonite, leonardite and yucca extract, each included to promote specific functions within the soilless media. It is the drier-running counterpart to the 80/20 ReadyGro Moisture formula.

ReadyGro Aeration is a soilless media that requires fertilization from transplant, ensuring the operator has control over plant nutrition through the entire growth cycle. The 60% coir to 40% perlite spec target gives the mix higher air-filled porosity, suiting crops and irrigation strategies that call for more frequent, smaller irrigation events and a rapid dry back. It is used in container production indoors, in greenhouses and under drip fertigation.
