Water Retaining Crystals (Super-Absorbent Potassium) - 100g + 10L Organic Coir Compost Blocks + Bulb Top Up Fertiliser
Price for all three: £15.67£13.06
Product Description
Water Retaining Crystals form a super absorbent hydrating gel that can hold up 350 times their own weight in water. Just mix them with your compost or soil when you plant and then water liberally. The crystals take in large amounts of water very rapidly and hold it to form a special reservoir which plant roots will grow into. The need for regular watering is substantially reduced as plants take the water they need as and when they need it.

How to use:

  • Calculate the amount of water retaining crystals required based on your pot/container size of soil square meterage.
  • Apply using a teaspoon or measuring scoop.
  • Mix thoroughly with compost or soil at root level.
  • Plant as normal and water well twice, one hour apart.
  • Re-water as and when required based on plant needs and weather conditions.

Application rates:

We recommend 5g (approx. 1 heaped teaspoon) of water retaining crystals per 5 litres of compost.
  • Plant Pots, Hanging Baskets & Containers: 10cm(4″) – 5g, 15cm(6″) – 7.5g, 20cm(8″) – 10g, 30cm(12″) – 20g, 45cm(18″) – 40g
  • Growbag: – 10g at each planting station.
  • Flower Beds & Border Plants: – 75g – 100g per square meter of soil/compost.
  • Laying Turf & Sewing Grass Seed:– 50g – 90g per square meter of topsoil. If sowing new grass from seed work 10cm-15cm into the soil using a garden fork.

Please Note:

Keep stored in a cool, dry place. Keep away from children and animals. Not for consumption. Wash hands after use. If consumed seek medical advice and show label. Avoid contact with skin or eyes.
