When it's premoistened the water that you add once you pot up your plants flow straight through to the bottom. I never use dry soil media because, as you might notice, it repels the water. This is what works for me.
Happy gardening!

You mean moistened. "Premoistened" is dry, before moistening. It implies that it's already wet when you just stated that you made it wet. And the 'ed' in moistened says that it's been done. If you use that bad American English and someone from Italy or Romania etc is reading it you'll confuse them.
You still have to water regardless so potting something up with moistened medium isn't going to make a big difference.
