Hydretain is patented blend of liquid humectant and hygroscopic compounds that attract and hold moisture like tiny water magnets within soil. Hydretain manages available soil moisture, extending watering intervals of indoor and outdoor plants, flowers, vegetables, shrubs, trees and grasses by as much as 2 to 3 times. Each application reduces watering for up to 3 months

Perfect for New & Existing Lawns, Flower Beds, Trees, Shrubs, Crops & Vegetable Gardens...

  Drought or Not - Hydretain Provides Benefits Throughout The Growing Season

Just like our bodies plants need a continual source of water to grow and remain healthy. Even during times of normal rainfall and in between scheduled waterings plants can suffer from a lack of sufficient water, known as “drought stress”. Unfortunately by the time the first visible sign of drought stress appears plants’ and turf grasses' internal processes (photosynthesis, carbohydrate translocation, cell differentiation, cell elongation, & cell division) have ceased. This complete shutdown of the physiological processes results in weak, under-developed plants, that are prone to diseases, nutrient deficiencies, shallow roots, reduced flowering and poor crop yields. Ultimately the overall quality of your plants and lawn suffers. Hydretain is the solution. Hydretain manages root zone moisture, making the most efficient use of applied water, rain, etc.

Its simple mechanism protects turf and plants from the harmful effects of drought stress, reducing disease pressure and root shrinkage. Hydretain will result in healthy, disease resistant plants that will improve the overall quality of your lawn, landscaping and vegetable gardens.

Hydretain does not hold excess water in the root zone and therefore does not promote disease. It also will not change the water holding capacity or percolation of the soil matrix (except in the case of severely hydrophobic soils as above).

Hydretain is not a wetting agent, polymer, penetrant, or antitranspirant. No other product has the ability to actually attract free water molecules and then release them through osmosis into the roots of your turf. It is a truly unique compound that has no equal.

How to Apply

Simply apply Hydretain by attaching the bottle with hose-end sprayer to your garden hose, it’s that easy. After you apply Hydretain, rinse it off the foliage and into the soil, then water heavily enough to carry Hydretain down to and throughout the root zone. This allows Hydretain to attach to your roots and begin to manage your moisture and keep your plants and turf alive and healthy.

Each application reduces watering for up to 3 months. For additional moisture management, spot treatment of isolated dry patches or additional protection during prolonged hot, dry conditions, Hydretain may be applied at rates up to 5 times the following application rates, either as a single application or in multiple applications. (Always rinse Hydretain off foliage and flowers and into the soil where Hydretain is designed to function.)

Lawns: Soil should be wet to moist (but not saturated) before applying Hydretain. Water thoroughly the night before or a few hours before applying. Through hose-end sprayer, 1 quart treats 2,500 to 5,000 square feet (depending on desired watering reduction). Immediately after applying, water thoroughly, rinsing Hydretain down into the root zone, where it is designed to function. (Approximately 1/2 inch of water is needed.)

Trees, Shrubs and Individual Plants: Through hose-end sprayer, apply enough Hydretain to thoroughly saturate the soil throughout the root zone. Large Planters, Flowers and Vegetable Gardens: Through hose-end sprayer, apply Hydretain around plant root zone at a rate of 1 quart of concentrate per 1,000 square feet.

Potted or Containerized Plants: Through hose-end sprayer, apply enough Hydretain to thoroughly saturate the soil throughout the pot or container. (For indoor plants, fill jug or watering can from hose-end sprayer or mix 2 ounces of concentrate with each gallon of water.)

Re-watering Hydretain Treated Plants and Grass: Hydretain extends watering requirements by managing excess moisture. Therefore, for maximum effect, it is important to water thoroughly when re-watering Hydretain-treated areas, providing excess subsurface moisture for Hydretain to manage. Hydretain is biodegradable. Re-application every three months allows Hydretain to build up in the soil profile, providing even greater drought resistance with each application.

Is Hydretain environmentally friendly?

Hydretain is all natural, made from food-grade materials and is fully biodegradable. It contains no phosphates, petrochemical derivatives or other toxic fractions, which may cause ground water runoff contamination.

Hydretain begins to break down in approximately 90 days. Re-application every 90 days allows Hydretain to build up in the soil profile providing even greater drought resistance with each application.

How It Works

A Hydretain molecule has the unique ability to attract, hold, and then transfer water molecules into plant roots. One end of the Hydretain molecule anchors itself to soil particles and root hairs coating their surface. The other end is available to “grab” free water molecules from humid air circulating in the soil, applied waterings, rainfall, etc… Once Hydretain has “grabbed” a water molecule, it releases it into the plant’s root throughout osmosis preventing it from being lost to evaporation or leaching. Because the Hydretain molecule is too large to fit through the cell wall of the root, it is left behind where it is free to “grab” another water molecule. This process is repeated over and over again, continually supplying the plants with water.

Hydrophobic soils are caused by organic matter (i.e. lipids, proteinaceous compounds, humic acid, fulvic acids, alignins, and suberin) that coat the soil particles and repel water. Because Hydretain is able to adhere to these compounds, water molecules are drawn to these hydrophobic areas, restoring the natural capillary action of the soil matrix that brings plant available water to the root system.

Excess Moisture & Disease

Hydretain does not hold excess water in the root zone and therefore does not promote disease. It also will not change the water holding capacity of percolation of the soil matrix (except in the case of severely hydrophobic soils as above).      Click Here For Product Pricing
