HP.SATMAX-0.05
SaturaMAX premium long life water storing crystals are very helpful for the time-poor recreational gardener and professional gardener alike as an appropriate application of SaturaMAX in the root zone (pot or garden) can increase water retention properties of garden soil or potting mix, substantially, therefore reducing water wastage and extending the time between watering.
SaturaMAX granules maintain more consistent soil moisture by expanding up to 250x and storing and releasing moisture, to maintain balanced soil moisture.
Common†Application - Seedling Transplant: When planting out seedlings into garden beds, the root zone of seedlings generally only extend 2 - 5cm deep. For most sandy and loamy soils, within hours of watering, most of the moisture sinks deep into subsurface, a depth the roots of young seedling cannot reach. By sprinkling a small amount of SaturaMAX into the soil before planting, much higher levels of moisture are retained in the root zone of the seedling, therefore improving plant establishment and survival rates.
SaturaMAX is suitable for most plant types including, turf grass, flowers & ornamentals, fruit trees, vegetable crops as well as bonsai and seedlings (at lower application rates). SaturaMAX crystals are made of a new generation matrix which provides moisture buffering capabilities as well as the ability to absorb, hold and release nutrients, therefore helping growers avoid surges and leaching of important plant nutrients which belong in your pots or garden soil, not in our precious waterways.
SaturaMAX TE is a professional grade product used widely by the nursery industry in Australia.
