FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1) What is DRiWATER® ?
DRiWATER® is a patented time-release plant watering product. It contains a combination of 98% water and 2% food-grade ingredients. The food grade ingredients are commonly found in foods such as mayonnaise and ice cream.
2) How does it work ?
Natural microorganisms found in the soil gradually break down the gel. As the gel converts back to water, moisture is carried and maintained throughout the plant’s root zone.
3) When a plant needs more moisture, does DRiWATER® liquefy at a faster rate ?
No. Liquefaction is the process of DRiWATER® changing from a solid gel back into liquid water. The liquefaction rates are predictable and are determined by the amount of DRiWATER® that is exposed to the soil. If a plant needs more moisture, it may be necessary to apply additional DRiWATER® or use supplemental watering.
4) Can I fertilize while using DRiWATER ?
Yes. You can use normal fertilizers and chemicals as needed. Fertilizers may cause DRiWATER® to liquefy at a faster rate so it is important to check your DRiWATER® more often when using fertilizers.
5) Can I over-water using DRiWATER® ?
You cannot over-water if you are applying DRiWATER® according to manufacturer’s recommendation. If you are applying DRiWATER® to indoor container plants in addition to your regular watering there is always a chance of over-watering. Please note hanging baskets will need supplemental water during spring and summer months.
6) Is it safe to eat DRiWATER® ?
We do not recommend this, however, DRiWATER® is 100% natural and harmless to children and animals.
7) Is DRiWATER the same as a polymer ?
No. DRiWATER is not an absorbent polymer. DRiWATER® is pure water.

- Poinsettias
- Vacation watering
- Hard to reach plants
- Supplemental watering for outdoor annuals
1) Water plant thoroughly before applying DRiWATER®.
2) Open Gel Pac by cutting from end to end, pull sides of plastic casing apart to expose the entire length of DRiWATER®. The gel exposed when casing is pulled apart should be approximately
1½” wide @ the center. Do not remove DRiWATER® from casing.
3) Place on moist soil surface with opening face down next to the stem of the plant without direct contact with the stem. It is important that the DRiWATER® touches the soil so liquefaction can begin.) Once the casing is sliced open, the Gel Pac’s are pliable and can be molded to fit the shape of the pot.
4) Check plant after 2 weeks. Replace when empty. Enjoy !
