Very surprised how well the crystals are working. Used these in planters facing west that gets the sun all day. Soil is retaining moisture not drying out and cracking. Watering requirements are much less and flowers are growing and blooming beautifully. Very pleased! Also, package seems small but goes very far as you only need a small amount. Worth the cost of the product as it is saving us money on water costs.

Don't use too much, I repotted a couple of Peace Lily's I have had for about a year. This is 2nd time I have had to move them to larger pots, and I had been Having to water every 3-4 days, or soak overnight weekly to keep them happy and blooming. I decided to try the water storing crystals because a friend has a Peace Lily he keeps in his office and he only waters it once a week, exactly 2 cups of water each time. the only difference I could find between our plants and environments is his Lily is in a clay pot whereas mine are in plastic pots. the first Lily I repotted I just guessed about how much of the Water Storing Crystals I used. Just as I have for years after repotting I let pot and plant soak 6-8 hours or overnight. The next morning I found that the plant and soil was overflowing pot, The water storing crystals and soil mixture had expanded so much that the plant was 3 inches higher than the top of the pot and soil had overflowed into the sink full of water. I removed the Peace Lily from pot and dumped out the soil into a larger bucket and mixed in about an equal amount of Miracle Grow Indoor plant potting soil, effectively reducing the amount of Water Storing Crystals to about 1/2 the amount I had used day before. I used the extra soil mix to repot the other Peace Lily and soaked it overnight, pouring excess water off next day and its been just over 2 weeks since then, I waited until Peace Lilies indicated they needed water, about 9 days then gave them 2 cups of water. So far plants seem to be doing well, one of them has actually put out a new bloom. Time will tell but I am happy with results so far, the Water Storing crystals do seem to have extended the time before plants need watering seeing how crystals look when saturated I think they will definitely stabilize the water content of the soil, allowing soil to remain damp for a much longer time than without them. I definitely recommend trying Miracle grow Water Storing Crystals, making sure you pay attention to directions about how much to use, it will save you extra work.
