JCD-05SM 8-Ounce Granules - 100047002

I’ve been using this along with the mats for my coco planters and regular high quality fertilizer. I live in the Idaho high desert-it gets hot, but it’s not Vegas or Palm Springs hot. My backyard planters do not have drip lines in them, and they’ve been gorgeous all summer! Is that I have used these crystals, I won’t go back. It’s July 29th today, and I planted my annuals in early April. Usually by early July, I have dry and crunchy, if not dead plants. This year, even after being out of town a lot and with record breaking heat, my flowers look great!I also use this in any of my pots that I plant annuals in, and I dint hbd the late afternoon wilting I used to have on 100+ days when I didn’t add the crystals.I’ve been out of town for about three weeks total this summer-in 100+ degree weather. I depended on a family member to water my potted plants, and that usually results in dry or dead plants when I come back. My plants look amazing!This is a must have for small containers!

I’ve used this product for several years. I put a small amount around the roots of all my plants. I believe it helps aerate the roots and lets the plants absorb the fertilizer in the soil.I was glad to find this product on Amazon as the big box stores don’t seem to carry it any longer. Be sure not to use to much because it will push your plant out of the pot. Each small grain of this product will increase in size to about the size of a dime. It is amazing how much water each granule will absorb. Really reduces how often you have to water your plants. I highly recommend this product .

I'm in the tropics so I thought I would see if this would help my plants, but it didn't improve the outcome in my hanging baskets.

perfect for plants indoor and outdoor. These are lifesavers if you are a slacker at watering plants regularly. They expand like the filling of a diaper and water your plants from within.

Wish I’d known about this product before, literally a game changer in keeping my plants hydrated. Tiny little beads, placed down in the soil near the roots, absorb water and release it as needed. A little goes a long way! I was amazed at how big the beads became, I definitely used a bit too much the first time. Since then, I’ve treated all my hanging baskets and containers with it and haven’t needed to water as often. This will be a huge help in the summer heat. And I still have half a bag left!

It helps conserve water, and time and energy in hot summers. A small amount makes a difference.

very small amount for the price

It gets very hot here on my deck. Adding this to my potted flowers has definitely helped (so far) when I’ve forgotten to water my pots.
