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%)

    Good, convenient and portable printer
    Color: Green, Color: Green
    This printer works great for my needs. The battery life has been good and the printer app functionality has worked without any issues. For me it is very easy to use and understand so overall I think it is a good, portable and convenient printer. However my one ad only issue is the labels get stuck and causes an error about 80% of the time meaning the label won’t print out unless I open it and realign it perfectly. That is a pain! I am contemplating returning it for a new one to see if it is just a design flaw or a printer issue so I am rating it 4 stars.

    I’m officially old now, but at least my stuff is organized. (A truly im-press-ive gadget).
    Color: Green
    I hit 30 recently, and apparently, my birthday present from the universe was a sudden, overwhelming urge to organize my garage and pantry. I bought this Nelko P21 to help with the transition into full adulthood, and honestly, it’s been a blast to use. Setting it up was surprisingly painless. You just download the app on your phone, turn on Bluetooth, and it connects almost instantly. The app itself is straightforward—you don't need a tech degree to figure out how to change the fonts, add borders, or even insert little icons. Since it's a thermal printer, you never have to buy ink or deal with messy cartridges, which is a massive plus for me because I would absolutely find a way to spill it. The machine itself is tiny, basically the size of a couple of smartphone decks stacked together, so it doesn't take up any room in a drawer. The labels print fast, the text is sharp, and the adhesive on the tape that comes with it holds up well on plastic storage bins and glass jars. My only minor complaint is that the app forces you to look at a ton of font options, and a lot of them are locked behind a subscription or paywall, but the free, basic fonts are more than enough to label a box of spare cables or spice jars. If you've reached the stage of life where clean storage containers bring you joy, this thing is worth every penny.

    Didn’t Expect to Use It This Much, Now I Reach for It Daily
    Color: Black, Color: Black
    I originally bought this label maker for a few simple tasks, but it quickly turned into something I use almost every day. As someone who manages multiple locations and stays organized across different responsibilities, having a quick and reliable way to label and categorize items makes a bigger impact than you’d think and this does exactly that. What stands out: Quick setup and easy Bluetooth connection. Compact design that’s easy to keep within reach. Clear, professional-looking labels. App gives enough flexibility without being complicated, allows you to create QR codes as well as functioning barcodes. One thing to note: There’s a short learning curve with the app, but nothing that slows you down after the first couple uses. Bottom line: If you value organization and efficiency, this is one of those small tools that quietly improves how you operate day to day.

    Perfect Label Maker
    Color: White
    I wasn’t expecting to love a label maker this much, but this thing has been incredibly useful. It’s easy to set up, simple to use, and prints clear, professional-looking labels every time. The print quality is sharp and the labels stick really well without peeling off.

    Very much needed!
    Color: Pink
    This label maker is super cute and very easy to use. The Bluetooth connection worked quickly with my phone and the app has plenty of templates and font options for organizing around the house and office. The labels print clearly, and the compact size makes it convenient to store anywhere. The pink color is also a nice touch and looks great on my desk!
