#super absorbent polymer

Instead of growing it in a running chalk stream, you can also pop your watercress in a container filled with super absorbent polymer balls. If you use a glass vase this is also a very decorative way of growing it. If you add some liquid fertiliser when soaking the water pearls your plant will get nutrients too I think.

I’m trying this out though, in a few months I will be able to say if this is indeed a good idea or if it’s more in the category of amaryllis with waxed bulbs and cacti with straw flowers on little sticks pricked into them.

And once again, these balls are made for children to play with, so they are supposed to be non-toxic and safe. As is all super absorbent polymer supposed to be.

I don’t remember who but some one suggested using the superabsorbent polymer balls in vases to put cut flowers in. I love it, you can just stick the flowers in, so they don’t fall to the side, and the balls look interesting

This is the spider plant growing in super absorbent polymer pearls. I’ve added water to the pot so that I could show the progress of the root growth.

Watercress in water pearls. Looks so attractive. The pearls are continually moist, so in theory the plant always has something to drink.

I bought super absorbent polymer balls. When water is added, they absorb it and grow to an incredible size. Branded as Orbeez, they are sold as toy, a rather useless one if you ask me. Bought in China via Ebay, they are way cheaper, although they do take a long time to arrive, so buy yours now if you want to try them out this (Northern) summer!

But these have another use. Since they’re not poisonous and do no harm to the environment, they excellent for plant related use. The balls can be uses as an rather interesting looking potting soil, but more importantly, SAP is used against desertification. In dry areas, super absorbent polymer is mixed in the soil to improve water retention. That way it’s easier to grow plants with less water used. I think these (in combination with ficus species) may be very useful in attempts at stopping desertification or even for greening desserts.

Upcoming summer I will see if they are of any use for the balcony gardener. Pots dry out quickly when it’s hot, so in theory these would help. I will make two pots, one with normal soil, one with soil and SAP. 

Bought in China via Ebay, they are way cheaper, although they do take a long time to arrive. So buy yours now if you want to try them out this (Northern) summer!
