Review: Product works well... - Good stuff, especially for hanging baskets
Review: Really helpful for keeping pots moist longer (great in warm weather) 🌿💧 - I bought the Westland Water Saving/Retention Gel for my potted plants, especially for the warmer months and for days when I can’t water regularly. After mixing it into the compost as instructed, I noticed the soil stays moist for longer and my plants look less stressed between waterings. What I like ✅ • Helps retain moisture in pots and planters, so the soil doesn’t dry out as fast 💧 • Useful for balcony/indoor plants and during hot spells ☀️🌿 • Easy to mix into compost and doesn’t make a mess • Great support if you travel or sometimes forget a watering day 👍 What could be better ⚠️ • You need to measure it properly — too much isn’t necessary (and can make the soil feel a bit odd) • It helps with retention, but it’s not a substitute for proper watering and good drainage Bottom line: A simple, effective product for potted plants if you want to reduce how often you water and keep plants happier in heat or dry indoor conditions 🌿✨ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use this for potted indoor flowers in place of soil?**
A: I wouldn't use this instead of soil, it has no nutrients,  it only retains water.

A: Thank you for your question
Westland Water Saving Gel is suitable to use with vegetables. Please follow pack advice depending on where vegetables are planted.

Kind Regards
Technical Advisory

**Q: How do you use this for house plants? Do I wet it first then add to soil or add to soil then water the plant. Thank you**
A: You mix it into the soil, plant your plants like you would normally do and water the first time till very wet! Once gel has taken the moist it will release it over a longer period of time. It works a treat! 
I also use a half handful around the roots of the plants extra just to  make sure! Went on holiday for 3 weeks and plants survived brilliantly! Good luck!

**Q: Can someone confirm how many grams are in a scoop? Just take a scoop and weigh it please.. be good to know roughly how many scoops per pack you get!**
A: Thank you for your enquiry, the scoop holds 10g

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable and long lasting
*by F***9 on 7 February 2022*

I have bought this item many times in the past (not from Amazon though!) as I always use this when making up my (4) hanging baskets for the year. I usually put the old basket filling, still with some water retaining gel, into pots where the gel can still do its job or even out in the garden where it can biodegrade safely between the plants. Consequently, I can say that this product is : - easy to use (I add it to the dry soil etc mix before adding it to the baskets to ensure that it is distributed as evenly as possible through the material) - fairly long lasting (as stated already there is often still gel left in the material at the end of a year in the basket, so I try to reuse it in pots where I can) - certainly retains enough water to keep the hanging baskets from totally drying out during the day even in a windy location (2 of the hanging baskets are in windy situations which dries them out, so I should know!). Hint : When wet, this looks like and feels very like clear jelly and swells up considerably, so leave a little more space than usual at the top of the basket to account for the 'growth' of the gel when wet. This can also be a way to recognise when water is required in the basket!
