What is HYDROCRYSTAL water retainer?
HYDROCRYSTAL water retainer is a product designed to help maintain soil moisture and provide water to plants on a regular basis.
It is particularly useful in situations where irrigation is difficult or impossible, such as when there is a lack of water or when plants are grown in drought conditions.
Description
The Hydrocrystal water retainer is designed to reduce the frequency of watering by 30 to 50% and promote the establishment and growth of plants. It can absorb and release up to 200 times its dry weight in water for a minimum period of two years. Hydrocrystal is biodegradable, non-toxic and has a neutral pH. It is easy to use and suitable for all types of plants. In addition to its water retention properties, it can also act as a slow mechanism for soluble fertilizers.
How to use HYDROCRYSTAL water retainer?
Simply mix the HYDROCRYSTAL water retainer with the substrate evenly and apply it to the soil around the plants. It then turns into a sort of gel that retains water and slowly releases it over time. This helps reduce frequent watering and minimizes water loss caused by evaporation. The dose to use depends on the type of substrate, the water needs of the plants, the growing conditions and the climate. In general, the more filtering the substrate, the more Hydrocrystal you will need.
Why use HYDROCRYSTAL water retainer?
