Trish where were you when i was selling these on the co-op forum i had the better of the 2 kinds that last 12 yrs and i made a deal for people . im going to try to post for people the demo i did to show how far a Tablespoon will go!!!I DO NOT HAVE ANYMORE FOR SALE FOLLOW TRISH LINK

I think these are amazing....pre-soak mix with your potting mix and keeps the plant supplied with water available for weeks!. also used in the ground and rooting cuttings. i have pineapple tops growing these for 4 years just keep adding water about every 3-4 weeks

here is a pictorial of how much water a tiny bit can absorb

start with 1 Tablespoon crystals and 1 cup warm water...............3 min what looks like......................8 min all water is adsorbed......yield 1 cup and 1/4 hydrated .some what but..

in to larger container add 1 more cup warm water......5 min later...................................all water is absorbed ..yield 2 1/2 cup.....some what but into a 4 cup container

add 1 more cup water(3 so far)..............................10 min later,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and finally add 1 more cup water (TOTAL 4 CUPS)AND IN 20 MIN YOU HAVE AT LEAST 4 CUPS HYDRATED WATER CRYSTALS
Thumb of 2012-04-08/chefmike92/e7bbcc
THE FINAL RESULTS NO LIQUID LEFT

now use that in a pot mixed 2/3 good potting mix and 1/3 the HYDRATED CRYSTALS and most all of your plants would be good for 3x longer with out watering.

can be mixed with liquid fertilizer and/or food coloring for great effects.

1 TBL for 2.00 includes shipping!!!
1 CUP for 5.00 dry weight 10 oz
1 LB for 12.00 small flat rate shipping
ask for more pricing!!!

price can be negotiated for larger quantity

thanks for looking they truly are fun and amassing
