Water-less crystals can be mixed with your preferred soil to help you save water while giving your plants some TLC.
When mixed with compost, the crystals absorb water and slowly release it to your plants as they need it.
With Water-less crystals, you can reduce how regularly you water your plants without compromising on plant growth.
Water-less crystals help reduce the frequency of watering your plants by up to 4 times.
The safe-to-use crystals help the compost structure and reduce fertiliser waste too.
Use in any plant container and the crystals will help you save water for a whole season.
Use Water-less crystals to save water across your whole garden, including hanging baskets, pot plants, grow bags and more. Discover how you can get started with Water-less crystals below:
Before planting, mix your Water-less crystals with compost by using 5 grams of crystals per 5 litres of compost, remembering to leave space in your container for the crystals to expand.
Then simply water your compost, and you’re ready to get planting.
Scatter 50g of Water-less crystals per square metre and rake in.
Make small holes in your compost and insert 2g of Water-less crystals in each hole, then water to get your crystals ready.
