- They absorb up to 400 times their weight
- They supply the plant with nutrients according to its needs
- They prevent the drying out of plants
- They retain moisture in the soil after watering for more even plant growth
- Ideal for keeping plants without watering during holiday periods
- Suitable for use in pots or in the garden
Aquaperla water storage crystals resemble water storage tanks that can retain rainwater or irrigation water for long periods (3-4 weeks).
For about 10 medium-sized pots, we use 100 g of Aquaperla for their watering.
Unique features:
- They absorb up to 400 times their weight
- They supply the plant with nutrients according to its needs
- They prevent the drying out of plants
- They retain moisture in the soil after watering for more even plant growth
- Ideal for keeping plants without watering during holiday periods
- Suitable for use in pots or in the garden
Single-use instructions
Use above the ground for temporary use.
- We dilute the crystals with water so that they become gel.
- Place 2-3 tablespoons in a large bucket of water. After a short while, 10-30 minutes, the water will turn into gel. If the gel is too runny, add a few more crystals.
- Water your plants well twice within two hours.
- Scatter the expanded crystals over the surface of the soil.
- Cover the surface of the soil with a bag if possible, where the gel is placed.
In this way, your plants can remain unwatered for up to 10 days (depending on their water needs, e.g. heat).
After these days, the gel will have turned back into powder. Then, remove it from the surface of the soil.
Usage for Permanent Action
We incorporate into the soil the necessary amount (read below).
The purpose of the crystals is to be close to the root system so that when watering, they store water. The water is then given to the roots. This process is repeated every time we water. The duration of action can be up to 5 years in the soil (depending on the salts in the water).
Dosage:
Before planting:
Mix into the soil where the plants are to be transplanted the appropriate amount of AQUAPERLA crystals (10-15 g or 1-1.5 tablespoons per 10 liters of soil). Then proceed with the usual planting and generous watering. Water a second time after 1-2 hours.
For already planted plants:
Dig as deeply as possible (20-25 cm) around the trunk of the plants or the roots and place the AQUAPERLA crystals (10 g or 1 heaping tablespoon per medium-sized pot or 200-300 g per square meter) and water abundantly. Water a second time after 1-2 hours.
By doubling the amount of AQUAPERLA crystals, we create a water reservoir that allows the plants to go without watering for more than 20 days during the summer vacation months.
Application on lawn:
Mix the crystals into the soil to a depth of 10-15 centimeters before sowing (50-100 g per 1 square meter). For already established lawns, spread 50-80 g per 1 square meter after lightly aerating first. Water abundantly and repeat a second time after 1-2 hours.
Other information
AQUAPERLA crystals are also used with aqueous nutrient solutions, which are gradually released according to the needs of the plants. As a result, they directly contribute to their continuous nourishment while reducing watering by 50% to 70%. With their use, potted plants do not need watering for more than 20 days. They are also suitable for decorative use, e.g. transparent vases.
