Earthcare Water Crystals
Pack sizes 10kg & 25kg
Earthcare Water Crystals, when incorporated into soil or potting mix, absorb and retain large quantities of water and water-soluble nutrients.

Water Crystals are made of super absorbent anionic polyacrylamide that is insoluble in water. However, they have the ability to absorb up to 500 times their weight in water with 95% of this water and nutrient being readily released again for the plant to take up as needed. The crystals rehydrate with any rain or irrigation and remain effective for up to 5 years
