Aqua Gel Water Storing Crystals 200g

Aqua Gel Water Storing Crystals – 200g
Dry crystals that swell into a gel when they are watered, mixed through compost at planting time. They hold surplus water and give it back as the compost dries, which is the difference between a hanging basket that survives a hot weekend and one that does not.
A 200g pack is enough for a season of baskets and containers in most gardens. It is not a substitute for watering — it buys time between waterings, particularly in small pots that dry out fast in wind and sun.
Performance & Benefits
- Absorbs water and releases it back to the roots as the compost dries out.
- Reduces how often pots, baskets and containers need watering.
- Mixed into compost at planting, so it works from the root zone outwards.
- Suits indoor and outdoor containers alike.
- 200g pack, enough for a season of baskets and pots in most gardens.
Suitable For
- Hanging baskets and window boxes, which dry out quickest.
- Patio pots and containers standing in full sun.
- Houseplants in small pots.
- Gardeners away for a few days at a time in summer.
- It cannot help a plant in open ground, where there is no container to hold it. For beds and borders a mulch does the same job.
How to Use
- Mix the crystals evenly through the compost as you fill the pot or basket.
- Plant up as normal and water thoroughly, so the crystals take up water and swell.
- Carry on watering as usual; the crystals lengthen the interval rather than replace watering.
- Do not add dry crystals to a pot that is already planted — they swell, and they can lift the compost.
Specification
- 200g pack of water-storing crystals.
- For use in pots, baskets and containers, indoors and out.
- Also available from Smart Garden in other pack sizes.
- Smart Garden publish no dose rate per litre of compost and no polymer specification for this pack, so neither is stated here.
Care & Caution
- The crystals swell many times over in water. Keep the pack away from children and pets — swallowed dry, the gel expands.
- Store the pack closed and dry. Loose crystals on a wet floor become slippery once they take up water.
- Mix them into the compost rather than leaving them sitting on the surface where pets and birds can reach them.
