HYDROHUM is a super-absorbent hydrogel engineered for extreme water retention. When incorporated into soil, the crystals swell into a gel matrix that holds up to 10 liters of water per 100g, releasing it slowly as the soil dries.
How It Works: The Ionic Pump
The hydrogel doesn't just store water—it acts as an ionic pump, maintaining a steady supply of dissolved nutrients to plant roots. This prevents nutrient leaching and fertilizer waste, while ensuring plants never experience water stress between irrigations.
Key Benefits
50% Less Watering: Extends the time between irrigations.
100x Water Absorption: Each crystal becomes a microscopic reservoir.
Prevents Root Rot: Improves drainage in heavy soils.
Biodegradable: Breaks down naturally over 3-5 years.
Temperature Stable: Works in both hot and cold climates.
Ideal For
Balcony planters and hanging baskets
Vegetable gardens in sandy soil
Newly planted trees and shrubs
Green roofs and vertical gardens
Xeriscape and drought-prone landscapes
Application
• For containers: Mix 1-2g per liter of soil before planting.
• For garden beds: Apply 20-30g per m² and incorporate into the top 10-15cm.
• For established plants: Create holes around the drip line, fill with gel, and water thoroughly.
Scientific Background: HYDROHUM uses cross-linked polyacrylamide polymers with high ionic charge density. Unlike basic water crystals, our formulation maintains gel stability across pH 4-9 and temperatures from -5°C to 40°C.
Coverage: 100g treats approximately 50L of potting mix or 5m² of garden beds.
