5LB Water Storing Crystals for Plants with Spoon, Water Gel Solves Plant Over-Watering and Drought Problems, Keeps The Soil Moist, Small Water Storing Polymer Crystals for Plants Powder - by Oycevila

We live in a very dry environment where summer temps exceed 100* and there is usually a 15 - 20 kts south breeze every day. Potted plants dry out quickly and need constant watering. Mixed these pellets into the soil before we planted this year and they seem to be helping hold the water. We don't have nearly the volume of water running out the bottom of the pot each time we water. Plants seem to be doing better this spring so far. 5 lb size is more than enough and should last us for several seasons.

I did a little experiment... not very scientifically because I didn't attempt to get precise measurements. But I took about a little over a teaspoon of these Water Storing Crystal's and added some water with dye (to enhance the visual). I kept having to add more water, and more water. What started out as a little over a teaspoon filled up a large soup bowl, or around 2 cups.So... this product will be great as an additive in my potted plants and in some flower beds where I have plants that tend to dry out more quickly. This will provide them the moisture they need to thrive. Or just to keep them watered if I happen to be out of town for several days.The product was delivered promptly and was sold at a good price, even a great price considering how much I paid for a tiny packet a few years ago.

These are the same crystals that are sold in plant stores but at a way lower price point. They keep my container annuals from drying out during the hot summer months. I also add them to the base of my perennials in my garden that require moist roots.

This has really helped with keeping my plants hydrated longer. It is amazing and it doesn't take much. Love this product.

Used it in my pots and directly in the garden. Really helped keep moisture levels good without overwatering.

I was looking for this in large form. These are mini-verson so they aren't the large water ball crystals. It comes almost powdered. I need up using too many in my sweet potato vine and keep wiping off the surface of the extra that keep busting throw the soilless soil media in the pots. Worms love it.

The powder is so fine that it seems like it should have a warning that it is necessary to wear a respirator and only work outside. After testing, I found it is great at holding water and mixes completely into soil that is bone dry. If used in moist soil it will immediately start absorbing on contact and comes out more chunky. In cases when I must mix into less dry soil, I mix the product with dry sand to disperse it into the soil and I get a much better result. In dry soil I mix in and then mist with water to get it to blended.

Fantastic for your garden mix it in with your soil so you don’t ever have to worry about possibly not having enough water in your plants
