Black Gold 1413000.Q08P Moisture Control Potting Mix 8 Qt

Product Description

The BLACK GOLD 1413000.Q08P is an 8-quart moisture control container potting mix formulated for container-grown plants in patio, balcony, and window applications. The mix includes coir fiber, which improves water-holding capacity and supports consistent moisture management between waterings. A built-in slow-release fertilizer feeds plants for up to 6 months from a single application, with a nutrient formulation of 0.10 nitrogen, 0.06 phosphate, and 0.13 potash. Resilience additives are incorporated to support stronger stem development and improved root mass. This product is sold as a single bag weighing approximately 6 pounds.

This mix is designed for use in patio containers, hanging baskets, and window boxes. It is suited to residential ornamental and flowering plant applications where consistent moisture retention and extended feeding are priorities. The coir component helps reduce overwatering risk while maintaining adequate hydration in container environments where soil volume is limited and plants are subject to heat and wind exposure.

Installation Notes

Fill containers to within approximately 1 inch of the rim before planting to allow for watering without overflow. Ensure all containers have adequate drainage holes before filling to prevent waterlogging despite the mix moisture retention properties. Avoid compacting the mix when filling containers, as this can reduce aeration and restrict root development.
