If you are filling containers and finding the compost is almost dry again within a day of watering, you are not doing anything wrong.
Most potting composts - especially peat-free mixes - drain quickly by design. Good for root health, but it means you end up watering far more often than expected.
It is not the plant. It is the growing medium.
CircleRoot addresses this at the source. Mixed into compost before planting, it holds 30x its mass in water and releases it slowly as the plant needs it. Soil stays moist for longer between waterings.
If you are planting new containers this May, mix it in before you fill them.
