I'm curious how long the crystals will actually hold water. For example, if a small amount of crystals are hydrated and spread out in a dish and left to dry at "normal" home temperatures & humidity, about how long would it take for them to dehydrate? Would they actually dry completely or would they just reach a steady state amount of water retention? Thanks!
VolleyballNow1, The Miracle Gro Water Storing Crystals, help to buffer the moisture available in the soil. The buffer time will vary and are dependent on soil and environmental conditions, but without additional moisture supplied they will eventually dry out until re-hydrated.
I am planning for 3 weeks vacation. How much should I use for my indoor plants so they dont get dry? I have 2 succulent and an aloe vera plant.
I believe that you can use fertilizer water and the crystals will release both fertilizer and water.
Can you use for outdoor plants that have been taken out of their container and surrounded by other plants, soil and mulch?
Hello. Yes, you can use the Miracle-Gro Water Storing Crystals indoor and outdoor.
could this be used to propagate cuttings?
Hi, are these made out of plastic or natural, biodegradable materials?
