Water Crystals™ are a superior water-absorbing synthetic polymer. Their primary benefit is a dramatic increase in long-term water holding capacity in soil.  Improving plant growth.

When mixed or tilled into soil, the dry water crystals absorb and retain water from irrigation,  or natural precipitation for extended periods, improving plant growth.

When properly applied to soil, Water Crystals can reduce watering and irrigation frequency by

•     50-75% in potted plants
•    15-40% on lawns and golf courses, and
•    20-40% for most field crops.

This product's water storage capacity significantly reduces stress periods in virtually all plants and crops by providing extra reserve water stored in hydrated crystals within the soil. Ninety-five percent of the water stored in Water Crystals is available to plants for plant growth.

Too much water at one time and not enough water at another time results in water stress on your plants, not good for plant growth. 

Plant stress can cause stunted plant growth and/or reduced yields in crops.

Water Crystals, when properly applied to soil, will reduce water stress because they hold water close to a plant's root system within the soil.

Because the treated soil is much less compacted than untreated soil (due to the expansion and contraction of Water Crystals as they go through repeated hydration/dehydration cycles), the soil's natural ability to hold water significantly improves, as does plant growth.

Water Crystals™ promote root growth, and plant growth. They hold water in the general area of a plant's root system within soil, thus helping prevent water loss by percolation through the soil down past the roots.

The key is proper application in soil of correct amounts into the general root area, with relationship to the water source being critical. For example, Water Crystals placed shallow in a dry land planting will obviously absorb more water from light rains than if they were deep-planted.

Water Crystals™ help plants survive through drought conditions by keeping a water reserve tied into the plant root system, increasing plant growth.

When properly applied, Water Crystals allow emergency water to be drawn from the soil, where untreated crops have none. Without these crystals, soil dries and hardens. Without water, root systems begin to dry and enter stages of stress. Before long, stress will kill the plant.

Water Crystals form tiny reservoirs of water-holding gel within the soil that have entrapped previous excess water. These reservoirs in the soil are tapped by plants during drought conditions, ensuring continued plant growth.

Water Crystals™ extend the time between irrigation and natural rainfall by storing water and slowly releasing it into the soil for plant growth.

They reduce the upward movement of soil moisture loss due to surface evaporation.

Extensive tests using compost and peat moss prove that Water Crystals™ hold moisture and make the soil easier to rewet.

Mix in one ounce of dry crystals per each 7 gallons of compost; or 1 oz. per 60 lbs. of sand or soil.

Compared with similar products, Water Crystals™ have superior longevity.

Water Crystals remain 95% effective after 5-12 years in stable soil. If not exposed to sunlight or U-V rays in their hydrated form, one application should last at least 5 years in normal soil without maintenance replenishments.
