    ROOTS Terra-Sorb Medium

    ROOTS® Terra-Sorb®is a nontoxic super-absorbent hydrogel material that absorbs up to 150 times its weight in water, and releases it slowly in dry soils. Roots® Terra-Sorb® is mixed into potting soil or planting soil to significantly increase the soil’s water-holding capacity. This allows more water to remain in the upper soil profile where it is available to roots. Roots® Terra-Sorb® will repeatedly absorb and release water in the soil, and it lasts for several years until it biodegrades. Roots® Terra-Sorb® brand hydrogel is made without sodium.
