What are those little swelling pearls called from Earthbound Trading Company/Romancing the Stone?
e_lix_abeth asked:
I went to Romancing the Stone/Earthbound Trading Company, they had these pouches of little balls/pearls that you put in water and they swell up and reminded my of fish eggs, and you can use them to replace potting soil. They come in all kinds of colors. I should have gotten them but wanted to save my money. I cant go back because the only one around here is over an hour away. SO I’m hoping someone out there knows what they are called, so maybe I can find some online.

A few names out there for it. Crystal Soil and sometimes Water Crystals.
Check out watercrystals dot com and crystal-soil dot pl
Crystal Soil is a new type of cultivating material which may be used as a substitute for common soil to raise your lovely plant. It is developed from super water-absorbent colophony for farming and forest industry, and it is a water, nutrition and microelements preserving super water-absorbent carrier. The crystals can absorb water of up to 50-100 times their weight in several hours, and they are able to release water gradually to supply the planting requirement. Applying to diverse indoor plants, the plants will be safe and sound without irrigation even for over one month. In addition, it contains fertilizing components like nitrogen, phosphor, potassium and other microelements, supplying plants’ growing nutrition for several months. There exist three kinds of Crystal Soil:
Cubic Crystal Soil available in 9 colours (white, yellow, orange, pink, red, purple, green, turquoise, blue)
Granule Crystal Soil available in 10 colours (white, yellow, orange, pink, red, purple, green, turquoise, sky-blue, blue)
Crystal Soil is nontoxic, odorless, clean and healthy. It is simple and easy to use, and after it has sopped up water it can satisfy the need of plants for weeks. Using crystals soil can give you excellent experiences. It is not necessary to irrigate or fertilize flowers frequently which may often affect indoor environment or mosquito breeding.
