Growrite Water Crystals
Growrite Water Crystals, when incorporated into a soil or potting media, absorb and retain large quantities of water and water-soluble nutrients.
Unlike most products that become hydrated Growrite Water Crystals have the property of easily releasing the absorbed water and nutrients, thereby allowing the plant to have water and nutrients available as needed.
The Crystals are made up of super absorbent anionic polyacrylamide polymers that are crossed-linked and insoluble in water. However, they have the ability to absorb up to 500 times their weight in water with 95% of this water and nutrient being readily released again for the plant to take up as needed. Growrite Water Crystals are non toxic and have an effectiveness in the soil for up to 5 years.
Benefits of Growrite Water Crystals:
- Faster establishment: water and nutrients are readily available when the plant needs it to reduce transplant shock and aid plant establishment.
- Increased survival rate: the crystal acts like a reservoir to retain water and nutrients for extended periods between rain or irrigations.
- Water saving: up to 50% less water needed with each irrigation.
- Labour cost saving: irrigation frequencies can be reduced by up to 50%.
- Reduced leaching: growers report fertiliser cost saving of around 15% to 30%.
