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

Lesson learned the hard way: I used way too many crystals in my new above ground flower bed. Got the bed ready to plant, watered it, watered it again the next day. Looked good. Then it rained four days. And my flower bed look like dirt Jell-O. I took enough out to fill another bed, some big pots, and I’ve still got to much in that bed. I’ve got to remove some jello dirt, then add soil before I plant anything there. The stuff works. Don’t use too much. I bought a 5 pound bucket. It hydrated enough that it would’ve almost half filled the bed of a small pickup truck. And I didn’t use it all.

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.

Add water gels right up. Works as expected. Little bit goes along way. Don’t over do it.

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 does not hold shape like it should it shoud look like jello when hydrated. It did at first, 2 weeks later, it's gone or melted and made the top of my soil hard like a crust and I'm trying to germinate seeds. They can't bust through the crust! Don't waste your money. Miracle grow makes one that WORKSI. So glad I didn't add it to our back yard soil. That would have been a disaster

Works really well. A little goes along way.

A bit softer than others. I prefer them firmer.
