Botanicare ReadyGro Moisture Formula

ReadyGro Moisture is an 80/20 blend of coir, perlite and amendments. The Moisture formula is specifically designed to retain moisture, providing a slower 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 higher water-holding counterpart to the 60/40 ReadyGro Aeration formula.

ReadyGro Moisture is a soilless media that requires fertilization from transplant, ensuring the operator has control over plant nutrition through the entire growth cycle. The 80% coir to 20% perlite spec target raises water holding capacity, suiting crops and irrigation strategies that call for fewer irrigation events and a longer interval between them. It is used in container production indoors, in greenhouses and under hand or drip irrigation.
