How To Use
Mix the water retention gel thoroughly into your potting compost before planting, or gently work it into the top layer of soil around existing plants. The recommended ratio is typically one part gel to four parts compost, though this may vary based on your specific plant requirements and local climate conditions. Water the soil as normal after application, and the gel will begin absorbing and storing moisture immediately for gradual release to plant roots.
Tips & Advice
For best results, apply the gel when planting or repotting to ensure even distribution throughout the root zone. This works particularly well in summer when plants are most susceptible to drought stress, and is especially beneficial for container plants where soil can dry out quickly.
Always follow the product instructions on your specific pack, as application rates may vary. Remember that whilst the gel reduces watering frequency, you should still monitor soil moisture regularly and water when the top layer feels dry to the touch.
