Water Storing Crystals (1 lb) - Super Absorbent Polymer Hydrogel for Gardens, Lawns & Potted Plants - Reduces Watering & Improves Soil Health

This product is easy to use and will keep your outdoor planters, potted house plants, and even trees hydrated so you don't need to water as often. I used a product like this years ago in the dozens of 5" pots of edible flowers in my greenhouse when I had an organic farm, and it saved a ton of labor. There are no down sides to conserving water and reducing labor! Tip: put a few crystals in a glass of water overnight so you can see how much they expand. This will prevent you from using too much, which I have done way too many times, causing silly giant gel blobs to erupt from the soil. No harm done, but it's a waste of product. A little goes a long way.

My potted plants are on a drip system and some need a bit more water than others, depending on how hot it is. This product solved the problem. The crystals absorb and release moisture as need so I don't have to worry about over or under watering

For years, I've struggled with disappointment in my outside hanging plants - they tend to just turn brittle & dry no matter how often they were watered/fed. Determined to have different results this year, I researched until discovering these lovely crystals & the secret they hold............Water!! For the first time, we have porch plants to be proud of this year & it's so nice to be able to conserve water, knowing that it wont all just run out of the pot before the plants can benefit!

This product met my expectations. A little goes a long way!

This has made a wonderful addition to my vegetable garden. It balances over watering and under watering very well!

The crystals seem to absorb liquid great, it will take time to see if it helps the soil in my big concrete pots from drying out as fast with this mixed in. My disappointment was opening the mailing envelope to discover the ziploc-type bag the crystals were in had opened & spilled all the crystals. I lost some in the envelope & in my carpet. The crystals would work better in a resealable bag with a tearoff strip to keep the crystals in. I lost some of the value for the money because I did not get the full weight.

This product is working very well for my hanging baskets My only advice is do not add too much to the soil as the soil will erupt within the basket. So far it's doing exactly what it was intended to do.

This product is excellent for my orchids. Mix with musk and your phalaenopsis will grow very beautiful. Mix with sand and dirt and your plants will love it.
