Meaning you won't have to water your water hungry plants as often. Mix the crystals with compost or soil to help your plant's base stay damp for much longer.

Description

Fast acting water absorbent granules, Stay Wet can rapidly absorb hundreds of times their own volume of water, acting as a reservoir for plant roots growing in treated media.

Its rapid action ensures minimum water loss during watering and re-watering.

Stay Wet:

Ideal for use in hanging baskets and planters

Crystals absorb and release moisture.
Stay Wet can be added to dry compost or pre-wetted as a gel. If pre-hydrating, place the contents of the sachet in a bucket and add 1.5 litres of water before stirring.

In addition to usage in hanging baskets and planters, Stay Wet can be used in growbags, or used in the garden for new tree or shrub plantings in containers.
