Gardening with Water Crystals

Make plants beautiful by using less water! Even in the desert!

Cut Flowers & Bamboo Shoots 
Put one teaspoon of Water Crystals (any size) into your vase, fill with 2 cups of water.  Add more water each week.  You can add liquid colorant for added effect, but it will probably color the flowers too.

 

Potted Plants
  First soak crystals in water, then follow this chart for amount of hydrated crystals to mix into dirt:
6" pot (approx. 2/3 gallon) - 2 cups hydrated crystals
8" pot (approx. 1 ½ gallon) - 6 cups hydrated crystals
10" pot (3 gallons) - 8 cups hydrated crystals
11" pot (5 gallons) - 1 gallon hydrated crystals

Mix the crystals into the lower half of the pot and have the top half just dirt alone.  In this way, the crystals are most effective at soaking up the water.

Vegetable Gardens
Mix in 1-4 pounds of dry SoapCrafters Water Crystals per 100 square feet (4 pounds for hardly any rain in your area), for each 6" of depth.  Mix well, plant and give it a very good soaking.

 Happy Gardening!
