Why moisture matters in containers

Container plants rely on their soil to hold the right amount of moisture between waterings. SylvaGrow Tub & Basket Compost delivers consistent moisture levels, helping roots stay hydrated without becoming waterlogged. The result is less frequent watering, reduced stress during warm spells, and healthier displays from spring through autumn.

What you can expect

With SylvaGrow, you’ll notice stronger root systems anchoring plants, healthier foliage, and more abundant blooms. The premium blend is specifically engineered for containers, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliable colour across a season of growth.

Who is this for

Ideal for gardeners who cultivate container displays—hanging baskets, patio pots and tubs, window boxes, and other container-grown flowers and plants—who want a peat-free option that doesn’t compromise on moisture control or nutrient support.

Use cases

• Hanging baskets that require steady moisture for continuous color.
• Patio pots and tubs prone to quick drying in sun or wind.
• Window boxes needing consistent hydration and vibrant growth.
• Container-grown flowers and foliage that benefit from balanced nutrients and reliable moisture.

Practical tips for best results

• Pre-wet the compost before planting to help roots establish quickly.
• Fill containers with SylvaGrow, leaving space for root balls and a light mulch layer on top to preserve surface moisture.
• Water deeply and regularly; in hot weather, check moisture daily and adjust as needed.
• Refresh annuals or rotate plantings seasonally to maintain a vibrant display and maximize root health.
