## Overview

Vitax Stay Wet Water Absorbent Crystals are polymer-based super absorbent crystals designed to retain and slowly release water and nutrients directly to plant roots.

Compact and easy to use, they are a smart solution for water-efficient gardening.

## Description

Product Description Water absorbent crystals, Completely inert, these crystals absorb and then release water and nutrients. Polymer crystals are one of those special items that are almost magical. Polymer crystals gel very similar to a gelatine dessert. One of their major uses is by the disposable diaper manufacturers, where they are referred to as super absorbent polymers. The polymers allow for thinner and lighter disposable diapers. Directions Act as a reservoir for plant roots, ideal for use in hanging baskets and planters, mix with compost at planting time P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Safety Warning Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not ingest. For external use only. Box Contains 1 x Water absorbant crystal pack See more

Review: They work extremely well - Each crystal is about the size of a grain of sugar -- but swells to the size of a small pea when wet. Excellent for pots and baskets in these hosepipe-ban times. (And saves endless watering, anyway!) Have a care about mixing in too much or the soil will become unstable and the plant will wobble about. (As I found out to my cost!) I've knocked off one star -- not because the product doesn't perform well (it does) -- but I think it's pretty expensive for the amount you get. That said, a little goes a long way.
Review: Water help for plants - Bought for my daughter for her planters as she is going on holiday and this should stop her plants for drying out and dying

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does the job
*by M***A on 19 September 2016*

this is a great product - used it for 2 years now and it does make a difference. it completely dissolves and transforms into water - and it probably lasts for few good month. i buy one every year, mainly over the winter period. would recommend
