CRYSTAL
SOIL
is a superior waterabsorbing co-polymer, witha
proven lifespan of at least
up to 9 years with the capability to
absorb and release up to 400 times its weight in water.
Because of the waterstorage capacity, when used
correctly, CRYSTAL
SOIL can reduce
frequent watering. It promotes faster seed germination by holding water and
nutrients near the
roots, enhances stronger root growth by releasing water and nutrients
during stress periods,
thus resulting in a more efficient use of water by improving soil conditions for
healthier and
stronger plants
CRYSTAL
SOIL is non-toxic.
CRYSTAL
SOIL
is odorless. However, an
excess of water over a period of time may cause an odor to develop. If this
occurs, simply drain off excess water and rinse crystals with tap water. If
crystals becomes soiled, rinse with tap water and drain for 2-3 hours. After 4-6
weeks, if your plant looks like it needs plant food, mix plantfood
according to a manufacturer's directions, and water your plant as normal.
MANY
USES / EASY TO USE DIRECTIONS
1.
Add 1 packet 8gm of CRYSTAL
SOIL directly into 320gm of
distilled water.
Let
stand 4-6 hours to crystallize.
2.
Pour wet CRYSTAL
SOIL into a strainer and let
stand until well drained.
You
can add food colouring if desired when using transparent crystals.
3.
Pour your CRYSTAL
SOIL into a clean glass
container and add your plant.
ADDITIONAL
DIRECTIONS
1. Rinse
roots clean of potting material. Trim off long stringy dirty roots.
2.
Gently insert plant or cutting into crystals.
3. As
evaporation occurs, add water to just below original level to allow for
swelling.
HELPFUL
HINTS
Water
approximately every 3-4 weeks (or whenever the crystals shrink about an inch).
As the crystals shrink, add fresh distilled water to bring CRYSTAL
SOIl back to original size. If
all the water has not beenabsorbed by CRYSTAL
SOIL after2
hours, it has been over-watered. Pour out excess water. For best results, spray
leaves once a month.
CRYSTAL
SOIL can be used on most green, water-loving tropical house plants
without the use of potting soil. CRYSTAL SOIL
can be mixed in the soil for all hanging plants, trees, outdoor plants, flower
bearing plants, fruit bearing plants, plants with color, and plants with pots
larger than 6".
What
is CRYSTAL
SOIL?
-Small, clear, hard crystals, made of a water-absorbing polymer
-Become soft as water is absorbed and retains water
-Provide reserve water for plants, stored in hydrated crystals
-The additional water stored in crystals is 95% available for plants to
use
-Considered non-hazardous. Use good sanitation practices (wash hands after
use)
