How to Use: For Hydrating Crystals: Add 1 oz of dry crystals to 1 gallon of water. Let them sit overnight, then strain in the morning to get fully expanded crystals (approx. 400x original size). Crystals start at ~1mm and expand to 3–4mm when hydrated. Best Water to Use: Distilled water works best. Tap water may reduce expansion slightly due to natural minerals. For Insects: Place hydrated crystals in a shallow dish to provide a safe, drown-free water source for crickets, roaches, dubias, and more. For Plants: Mix dry crystals into soil before watering. Use in potted plants or gardens to retain moisture and reduce watering frequency. Pots: Mix crystals into soil, leaving 1 inch from the top. Water thoroughly. Garden Rows: Use 7–8 teaspoons per 6-foot row, mixing evenly into the soil. These crystals reduce the risk of drowning in insect colonies and help plants thrive by holding water at the root level. Ideal for breeders, gardeners, and reptile keepers. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Thanks for choosing Five-Star Feeders!
