Hydrogel Plants

These are hydrogel plants that use hydrogel as its soil. The hydrogel already contain some fertilizer, and the shape and texture looks like some kind of yummy colorful jelly, only it's not edible. It comes in many colors, too bad i haven't got the sample of other colors in the pic. The advantage of using these hydrogel as soil is that we dont have to water it everyday (perfect for a forgetfull person like myself), because the hydrogel itself already contain lots of water in it. After awhile, about 3 weeks-4 weeks without watering, the hydrogel will get a bit dry on the top and reduced it's quantity. When this happen, you will know that it's about the time to water it again. Pour some amount of water in it (about 1,5 medium size glass?) and give it some time (1 hour) to let the gel absorb all the water and notice that the gel will gradually recover to its original quantity. Be carefull not to pour too much water because when the gel gets too watery, it can cause rotten root. If you accidentally pour too much water, it's ok, just let it absorb for 1 hour, and then get rid of the excess water by filtering it. A healty hydrogel will looks like chunks of crystals. It tooks me couple times trial&error before i understand this.

The white hydrogel in the pic was the one i made for ollie (she bought it as a gift for her aunt - hope she like it) and the green hydrogel plant behind the white one was the plant we took care together at office. Well, i dont know what is the name of these plant, but i love it, they are so adaptive to new envorinment and they are indoor plant!! no need exposure of sun.
