Features
Acqua Gel Leader is a ready-to-use hydrogel for the gradual release of water to potted plants. The formula uses specific cellulose fibres and methylcellulose. During preparation, these fibres retain water. They then release it when the product comes into contact with the microorganisms naturally present in the soil, activating release at the natural pH of the rhizosphere.
To apply, lift the cap of the bottle and pour directly into the pot. Use 300–500 ml every 10 days for large-diameter pots. For smaller pots: pot diameter 18–22 cm: 100–150 ml; pot diameter 22–26 cm (or balcony planter L40x16x13): 150–200 ml; pot diameter 26–30 cm (or balcony planter L60x17x15): 200–250 ml; pot diameter greater than 30 cm: 300–500 ml. Actual product duration may vary depending on the plant’s sun exposure and water requirements.
Acqua Gel does not replace regular fertilisation, but it is a practical supplement for when you are away from home. It keeps the substrate moist without waterlogging for approximately 30 days per pot. Suitable for all potted plants, indoors or on balconies. 1 LT bottle with pouring cap.
