Converting to gel like sponges, absorbing and storing water and water soluble plant nutrients. Storing water and dissolved plant nutrients in the area of the macropores against gravity where it is easily available for plants on demand, via their roots. 95 % of the absorbed water is available back to plants. Wonder Waterwise Crystals is not able to withdraw water from plants so there is no competition with regard to available moisture. Water and nutrient elements are taken up directly by the fine root hairs growing into Waterwise Crystals or they are slowly released to the surrounding soil by osmotical processes. This uniform moisture supply leads to fast and intensive root growth, and increased survival rates of new plantings. Due to the expansion of Waterwise Crystals during water uptake the soil volume changes, resulting in reduced soil compaction, improved soil porosity and permeability. Thus, by loosening the soil root growth is enhanced. Increasing the water holding capacity of soils and potting mixes Waterwise Crystals provides a continuously available water reservoir, just where it is needed—in the root zone.
