XSEINO 5LB Water Storing Crystals for Plants, Water Gel Solves Plant Over-Watering and Drought Problems, Keeps The Soil Moist, Small Water Storing Polymer Crystals for Plants

this really holds the water. here in Texas it gets so hot and the garden can quickly start wilting. I mixed these in with my planting and it has really helped. we are under a watering restriction where we can only water 1 day a week so this has been a huge help keeping my plants going between my weekly wattering day.

Placed half of a scoop, ?Tsp?, in a jar. Filled the jar with water, and absorbed all the water and added to pot. Excellent for keeping roots moist. Good value. Size large, but don't need to buy for a long time.

However much you think you will need, reduce by half and then half that. A little of this stuff goes a long way. We bought to put in our plants that are in containers mounted on our patio deck. We over did the granules. After thinning them out they work perfectly. Keeps the soil moist and the plants alive.

This water storage gel is incredible. I only use 2 teaspoons for a quarter bucket with water and it absorbs all the water. I mix it already hydrated in my soil and then plant my seeds or my seedlings. The roots grab the gel and every time I add water, the gel absorbs it and let the root get water slowly. This assure my plants will have water for a longer period of time. I recommend also to add in the same soil some mycorrhizal. This product is not expensive and gives you more for your money.

When using for crafts or cooling neck ties, the crystals become slimy and the dry in sharp, clumpy shards. Do not get for this purpose. other brand do not have this issue. What chemical in this product is causing this issue?

Works well if you work into the soil 4-6 inches deep.

A bit softer than others. I prefer them firmer.

Works great at a fair price.
