Keeping gardens, lawns & plants healthy can be challenging especially in areas where water is scarce or weather patterns are unpredictable. Daily watering is time-consuming & in many regions water restrictions make it difficult to keep landscapes looking their best. Polymer technology offers a simple & effective solution. Products like Flora Gel, Water$ave Plantation (W$PT) & Water$ave Turf (W$Turf) from Polymer Innovations are designed to capture & store water in the soil, releasing it slowly to plant roots. This helps conserve water, reduce maintenance & keep gardens thriving year-round.
How Do Polymers Work in the Garden?
These products contain super absorbent polymers (SAPs) that can absorb & hold hundreds of times their weight in water. When incorporated into soil, turf, or pots, they act as miniature water reservoirs. Instead of being lost to evaporation or runoff, moisture is held at the root zone & released gradually as plants need it. The result is healthier growth, reduced water stress & longer intervals between watering.
Flora Gel – Decorative & Functional Plant Hydration
Flora Gel is a non-toxic polymer that combines function with visual appeal. The water-storing gels swell & slowly release moisture to flowers & plants. These gels can be dyed a range of colours, adding to the visual appeal & making them perfect for displays. Flora Gel is popular with florists, event stylists & households looking for a practical yet decorative water solution:
- Keeps cut flowers fresher for longer
- Reduces watering needs for indoor plants
- Decorative for vases, displays & events
- Safe, clean & reusable with proper care
Water$ave Plantation (W$PT) – Strong Starts for Trees & Shrubs
When establishing trees, shrubs, or large plantings, water stress is one of the biggest challenges. W$PT is a super absorbent polymer designed to be mixed into soil at the root zone during planting.
- Stores rainfall or irrigation water where roots can access it
- Releases moisture slowly for consistent hydration
- Reduces watering frequency
- Improves survival rates in dry conditions
This makes W$PT ideal for revegetation projects, landscaping, orchards & any long-term plantings in low-rainfall regions.
Water$ave Turf (W$Turf) – Lush Lawns with Less Water
Lawns can be one of the thirstiest parts of a property. Hot weather, dry soils, and water restrictions often leave turf struggling to stay green. W$Turf is a granular polymer designed specifically for turf applications.
- Absorbs & retains water in the soil profile
- Keeps roots hydrated between watering or rainfall
- Improves lawn resilience in drought and heat
- Reduces overall water usage & maintenance needs
By applying W$Turf when laying new turf or maintaining existing lawns, you can achieve a healthier, more vibrant lawn with far less watering.
