Soil Moist™ Spikes are a safe, non-toxic water-storing polymer that can
be used in several horticultural applications. They are ideal for
indoor or outdoor potted plants and hanging baskets.
The spike absorbs water similar to a sponge. Each spike is clear in
color, approximately 1.25" in length, and stores over 40 times in its
weight in tap water - releasing a steady supply as your plants need it.
Just place the proper amount of spikes beneath
the surface of the soil, as close to the roots as possible. Cover the
holes, and water the plant on a normal basis for several days to fully
activate the product.
