Natural Water Storing Granules 350g – Biodegradable Water Retaining Crystals for Baskets & Pots | Multipacks Save up to 46% | ecofective

Natural Water Storing Granules – a tiny reservoir in every pot

The most expensive thing about a hanging basket isn't the plants. It's the evening in July you forget to water it. ecofective Natural Water Storing Granules are starch-based hydrating granules that absorb over 80 times their own weight in water, then form a gel around the roots that releases moisture and nutrients back as the plant needs them. Translation: fewer watering cans, fewer crispy casualties, more holidays.

Unlike old-style synthetic gels, they're made from a blend of natural plant materials and minerals – biodegradable, non-toxic and odourless, and safe to use around children, pets and bees.

💰 Why the single is priced the way it is

• 3 Pack: £21.49 – £7.16 a pouch (save 38%)
• Full Box of 6: £36.99 – just £6.17 a pouch (save 46%) – enough for every basket, tub and window box on the street

Perfect for

• Hanging baskets, pots, tubs and window boxes
• Potting up, planting out and moving plants from pots into the garden
• Houseplants that get forgotten, and holiday-proofing
• Dry spells, south-facing walls and hosepipe-ban summers

How to use

Mix the granules evenly into the compost or soil before planting, at the rate given on the pack, then water well so they can swell. Don't layer them in a clump or scatter them on the surface.

🌱 Rose's Pro-Tip: Pre-soak the granules in a bucket of water for 30 minutes before mixing into the compost. They swell first, so your freshly planted basket doesn't bulge and spill an hour after its first watering.
