Terra-Sorb (1 lb jar) is a super-absorbent, potassium-based co-polymer gel that significantly increases the water-holding capacity of soil. It absorbs up to 200 times its weight in water and slowly releases it to nearby plant roots. Terra-Sorb will repeatedly absorb and release water for several years, until it biodegrades naturally, and harmlessly.
Terra-Sorb helps your plants need less frequent watering by holding a supply of water near the plants roots until it is needed.

Terra-Sorb water absorbent gel has many uses. The large granules of Terra-Sorb medium are used as a soil amendment in landscaping and horticulture to reduce watering, relieve transplant shock, and increase viability of both indoor and outdoor plants. Outdoors, the granules are tilled into an area to be planted, seeded or sodded to increase the water-holding capacity of the soil, and thereby reduce the frequency of watering. By gelling with aqueous solutions of fertilizer, Terra-Sorb can also act as a fertilizer carrier.
Key Product Benefits of Terra-Sorb:
- Significantly increase water-holding capacity of soil
- Prevents plant losses due to dry soil
- Slowly releases water into the root zone
Application Rates are as follows:
Tree and Shrub Plantings: Mix Terra-Sorb Medium evenly with the backfill soil at a rate of 2 ounces (by weight) per inch caliper for Balled or Burlapped trees and shrubs, or 1 ounce (by weight) per 5 gallons for containerized trees and shrubs.
Flower Beds and Gardens: Terra-Sorb medium is mixed into the top 4 inches of soil at a rate of 1 pound per 100 square feet prior to planting or seeding. It can be broadcast by shaker, spreader or hand, then raked or rototilled into soil. Not recommended for topdressing already established beds.
