Bloom Master High Water Retention Hanging Basket Soil Kit

Finally, a hanging basket solution that you don't have to water every day! The revolutionary Bloom Master hanging basket will grow and display herbs, vegetables, strawberries, and bright flowers with minimal effort. The innovative design showcases flowers by granting their blossoms and stems the space to grow long and healthy. With the holes allowing oxygen to reach the roots, your plants will grow strong. The basket itself disappears behind the growth of your plants, making it easy to pinch and deadhead flowers or to trim and harvest your vegetables.

This basket is huge, ideal for city hanging baskets that have to match up to wide streets and tall buildings. These hanging treasures will easily brighten up an area because of its unique and attractive form.

More About the Soil Mix: 

• Minute Soil Plus - Amended, compressed coconut coir grow medium infused with NPK fertilizer, Azomite trace mineral fertilizer, worm castings, and Mycorrhizae. Just add water to expand into sustainable, renewable, peat-free grow medium with naturally high water holding capacity.
• Perlite - Mix pre-measured perlite into the expanded Minute Soil for additional aeration, water retention, and cold insulation for roots.
• Retain Water Retention Crystals - a safe and easy-to-use soil additive made out of water-absorbing ingredients (cross-linked polyacrylate, bentonite clay, lava rock, and silicates) that absorb up to 40x its own weight in water. Retain increases the water-holding capacity of soil by up to 60%, helping to prevent waterlogging and releasing the water to plants, minimizing evaporation, especially in hanging baskets prone to drying out.

All the soil mix components are pre-measured for the hanging basket. Simply add water to the Minute Soil+ compressed coco coir discs to hydrate and reconstitute. Add in the perlite and Retain crystals. Add more water and allow the crystals an hour or so to absorb water (note that the crystals absorb water slowly, and they also release it slowly). Add soil to the the bottom layer of grow holes in the planter, insert seedlings, and add soil on top up to the next layer of holes. Continue until fully planted, including planting seedlings on top.
