Rocky Water Crystals are polymers that start out salt like, but upon hydration expand and take on the look of crystals.
Order a large jar of RockyWater for only $9.95 plus shipping.
Use these polymers/crystals to aid in growing and maintaining beautiful house
plants, outdoor plants, shrubs, and even your yard!
A single teaspoon of dehydrated polymers will yield 1 cup of crystals.
It is suggested that you hydrate your polymers first if mixing with soil for
potted plants (once wet the polymers will expand, if you pot them when they are
dehydrated upon watering your soil will overflow your container). Once they have
expanded mix them with your soil and pot your plants as usual. You will be able
to go longer without watering as the polymers will aid in watering by slowly
releasing moisture to the soil as they dry out. And never worry; a single
watering will replenish your Rocky Water Crystals.
When planting shrubs, once the hole is dug, toss in a handful of Rocky Water
Crystals (dry or hydrated), and then place your root ball on top and fill in
with soil (polymers can be add to the filling soil as well). Laying grass?
Sprinkle your yard liberally with dehydrated Rocky Water Crystals prior to
putting the grass down. Doing this with your shrubs and grass will cut down on
watering and help develop their root systems, while yielding healthier more
beautiful results all around.
Many water loving plants, such as your average philodendron, will thrive being
planted directly into Rocky Water Crystals. Simply expand the rocks in an ivy
bowl or like container and put the rooted end directly into them. You can dress
up the rocks too by adding a drop or two of your favorite food coloring.
