## Overview

Miracle-Gro Water Storing Crystals are innovative granules designed to reduce watering frequency by absorbing and slowly releasing water, protecting plants from heat and drought stress. Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, these crystals help prevent over- and under-watering by maintaining optimal soil moisture levels, making plant care easier and more efficient.

## Description

Product Description Help prevent over-and under-watering of plants with Miracle-Gro® Water Storing Crystals. Ideal for indoor and outdoor plants, the crystals reduce water stress in plants to help protect them from heat and drought. Simply mix with soil to reduce the amount of watering needed; then when you do water plants, crystals will swell to absorb the water. Your plants will receive the right amount of water they need to thrive. Directions Mix 1 teaspoon of Miracle-Gro Water Storing Crystals with 1/2 gallon of water. Apply the mixture to the soil around your plants. The crystals will swell to absorb water, helping to reduce water stress and protect plants from heat and drought. Repeat application as needed, following the package instructions for the appropriate frequency based on your plant type and growing conditions. Safety Warning Keep out of reach of children and pets. Product is slippery when wet. Sweep up spills and place in airtight container for disposal. Flush area thoroughly with water, scrub and remove residue.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it safe to use with insects?**
A: I am an industrial chemist (retired) and worked at a complex with a plant making 350,000 pounds of acrylamide (monomer) a day.  While acrylamide itself is quite toxic and carcinogenic. polyacrylamide is utterly harmless.  Polyacrylamide is, as the name suggests, a polymer of acrylamide.  The polymerization reaction destroys the toxicity and carcinogenicity of the molecule.  As long as all of the monomer is removed, there are no worries.  If you are a bit OCD, you can put the "crystals" in a large excess of water, let it sit for a few hours, and pour off the water.

**Q: can it be used in outdoor pots that already have plants in them**
A: Yes, you can use this in pots with plants in them.  Make several holes in the soil (with a stick or pencil) evenly spaced around the plant (avoiding the root area) and incorporate Miracle-Gro Water Storing Crystals evenly into the holes. Cover the holes with soil and water thoroughly to activate the water storing properties.

**Q: I want to add this product to all my landscaping during our CA drought.  Can I sprinkle it over all my plants or do I have to dig up my entire garden?**
A: No you can't sprinkle it on the ground.  But you don't have to dig up your garden either.  What you can do is dig some holes or area around each plant, getting as close as you can without damaging the plant roots.  I usually do this for an established garden areas.  I make the holes (3 for each plant) or digging areas close to plants as I can then put about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. Then replace the dirt. After I've finished I water a bit to soak the dirt back into place.If you want to see what the Crystals look like when wet. Put about 1/4 tsp in a 2c measuring cup add about 1/2 of water.  They get huge!  Then you can just put this in the ground or planter with a plant.Hope this helps

**Q: Does anyone know how long this stuff lasts in the soil? One season, 5 seasons?**
A: According to literature it gradually deteriorates over a 2 to 3 year period turning into a harmless soil additive with a few nutrients.
