The product is particularly valuable for balancing the air-water ratio in dense soil structures. Suitable uses include mixing with soil to enhance air flow, using as a plant substrate for cacti and succulents, and as a covering material in gardens. It is also suitable for organic gardening, making it a versatile solution for various horticultural needs.
DCM Aquaperla - Water Absorbent Crystals for Soil Moisture Management
DCM AQUAPERLA® water crystals possess the capability to absorb over 100 times their weight in water and nutrients, subsequently releasing them as per the plant’s requirements. This attribute makes them suitable for use as a temporary water buffer in arid soils. Such crystals can be integrated into the soil when designing a garden or mixed with potting soil to minimize the frequency of watering. They can also serve a decorative purpose in transparent vases. Classified as a physical soil improver, these crystals are specifically designed to enhance the water retention capability of soils and cultivation substrates. Recommended dosage varies from 50 to 200 grams per square meter or 1 to 3 kilograms per cubic meter. Utilizing DCM AQUAPERLA® can substantially reduce the number of required watering sessions.
