Note: Water-Keep must be well mixed within planting media for optimal water storage. If you transplant your tomato plant or new flower on top of a teaspoon of powder, you will probably see your plant knocked down after the first rainstorm; this water-absorbing polymer will swell up to 400 times its weight!!! Application rates may vary according to soil conditions, amount and timing of rainfall, temperature and general weather conditions as well as the moisture requirements of the individual plants.
