Oycevila 5LB Water Storing Crystals for Plants with Spoon, Keeps Soil Moist, Prevents Overwatering & Drought, Promotes Root Growth

These are a great investment. Definitely had a better year in the garden.

This stuff is great. I can leave my plants...potted and in the ground and for a week in the Texas summer heat without worrying about them. I water half as often. Plants that I had trouble keeping alive in the Texas heat are thriving. Great for house plants too. I tend to neglect mine and with these crystals they stay hydrated without drowning. A must for pot plants.

Works very well in dry climates. Very necessary for starting all sizes of plants.

This product REALLY expands when exposed to water. A little goes a long way, but I feel that the instructions for use do not clearly identify that . The product does seems to provide plants with liquid nourishment.

I did a little experiment... not very scientifically because I didn't attempt to get precise measurements. But I took about a little over a teaspoon of these Water Storing Crystal's and added some water with dye (to enhance the visual). I kept having to add more water, and more water. What started out as a little over a teaspoon filled up a large soup bowl, or around 2 cups. So... this product will be great as an additive in my potted plants and in some flower beds where I have plants that tend to dry out more quickly. This will provide them the moisture they need to thrive. Or just to keep them watered if I happen to be out of town for several days. The product was delivered promptly and was sold at a good price, even a great price considering how much I paid for a tiny packet a few years ago.
