Smart Garden AquaGel is a water-absorbing crystal that can be used in pots, containers, and dry soil to reduce the need for watering. When water is added, the gel expands and stores extra water, which can then be released to plants when they need it. Here are some instructions for using Smart Garden AquaGel: 
 
 
  1. Mix with soil
    Before planting, mix the AquaGel with soil in a ratio of 1:4 (AquaGel:soil). For example, you can mix 5g (one teaspoon) of AquaGel with every 5 liters of compost. 
     
     
  2. Water
    Water the plant thoroughly after planting. If you're using AquaGel in dry soil, you can apply 50g per square meter and rake it in before watering. 
     
     
  3. Wait
    Allow the compost and gel mix to sit for 1-2 hours so the water can soak in. 
     
     
  4. Monitor
    Reduce watering after planting, but keep an eye on the plant's moisture levels to avoid over-drying.
