Retain™ plant crystals are a safe and easy to use soil additive made out of water absorbing ingredients (cross-linked polyacrylate, bentonite clay, lava rock and silicates) that absorbs up to 40x its own weight in water. 50 lbs of retain can hold up to 250 gallons of water. It increases the water holding capacity of soil by up to 60%, helping to prevent waterlogging and releases the water to plants, minimizing evaporation, especially in hanging baskets prone to drying out.

Retain the Rain in your Soil

Retain plant water absorption crystals can be used in countless applications from reducing watering frequency for house plants and keeping plants watered on vacation, to reducing water bills for lawn, garden, farm, landscape, to golf courses. Retain water crystals conserve water, especially in regions prone to heat and drought.

For containers (pots, planters, baskets, seed starts and house plants) use 1 tablespoon of retain crystals to every 3 cups of soil. For lawn, farm and garden applications use 5 cups of retain water crystals for each square yard. Simply mix retain evenly into dry soil or other growing medium. Water repeatedly to activate the super absorbent polymers.

About Retain Plant Water Absorption Crystals

  • Releases water slowly to plants, minimizing watering frequency and keeping plants alive on vacation. Eco-friendly mix of time-released super absorbent polymers, volcanic rock flour, and clay mineral
  • Retain ™ soil crystals additive is simple, yet essential, to anything from helping commercial landscapers conserve local runoff or simply keeping a favorite houseplant watered while on vacation. Super absorbent polymers gradually and evenly release water and minerals into the soil to reduce plant stress during prolonged heat and drought. Perfect for plants and outdoor starts requiring full sun conditions.
  • Retain Crystals Promote sustainable local water conservation for regions prone to heat and drought - Uniform moisture throughout the soil promotes deeper root penetration for healthier and more tolerant plants––encouraging hardier stalks, greens, blooms, reseeding, and fruit production.
  • Retain ™ is essential for beginner hobbyists, busy enthusiasts, seasoned gardeners, and veteran farmers looking to minimize water consumption without compromising quality or productivity - Fortifies soil to absorb up to 50 - 60% more local runoff and nutrients than untreated soil. Ideal for hanging baskets and house plants.
  • Super absorbent polymers help prevent water logging from excessive rain and moisture and even benefit from repeated watering to fully charge polymers for extended periods of drought - Retains 40x weight in water to minimize wasteful summer watering, irrigation, and sprinkler use.
  • Retain is derived from polyacrylate, lava rock, bentonite, and silicates:
    • Cross-linked Polyacrylate (23%)
    • Bentonite (30%)
    • Lava Rock (23%)
    • Silicates (10%)
    • Water (14%)

    Great Daily moisturizer
    Size: 13.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
    Very light and neutral smell ( although I can understand that the scent may not be to everyone’s liking). The new formula with niacinamide adds a great benefit for your skin. Leaves the skin moisturized. Compared to CeraVe and Cetaphil intense moisturizers, those are much more heavy and longer lasting but overall I really like this product and will continue to use it as part of my daily moisturizer. I do wish NIVEA was more environmentally conscious.

    The best!!
    Size: 13.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
    Love this Nivea. And love that it’s in a tub and not a pump bottle so I can scoop out exactly how much I need and get every bit out at the end of every tub. I use this every day as soon as I get out of the shower. I lotion my entire body. It has made my skin baby soft smooth. It has also really helped with dry skin I had on my feet as well. Love it. I use my retinol and other skincare products on my face and neck and then I lotion my entire body right up to my chin. I don’t really use this on my face because I have other products for that but you could. It’s not greasy and absorbs well. Locks in moisture. And you get quite a bit for the money. I do wish Nivea’s skin firming lotion came in a tub like this too.

    Moisture and good price in one place
    Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz.
    This was a household must have for my partner who used nothing but the Helen coco butter hand creams. Oh yes, I had to use some occasionally as well. It is soft on the skin, has a long lasting moisture, he would use it right after washing his hands to get that softness locked in. There is no strong scent so is perfect for people who wants a good hand cream but not that loud scent. I used it all over my body for a all day moisture and shine. I used it in places that don't see the sun often but still needs much love and kindness too. The fun this about this product is they have various sizes so we have one in the car, one in my hand bag and they have the family size that the kids can use. I recommend that you stock up on these.
