Plants Stay Healthy with STOCKOBSORB®

Plants Stay Healthy With STOCKOSORB®

STOCKOSORB® is an advanced hydrogel technology manufactured by Evonik, with a unique action that absorbs water in growing media, then releases nutrient-rich water back to the plants when needed. When mixed into growing media, it swells to many times its original size, absorbing water for later release.

Fact: One pound of STOCKOSORB® can absorb up to 30 gallons of water.

Why Growers Love It

By using only 2 pounds per cubic yard in most growing media, growers have a cost-effective way to maximize water resources, minimize labor inputs, reduce shrink and improve plant survival rates. Growers can reduce water use by up to 30% in production.

Passing the Success to Retail

STOCKOSORB® keeps plants healthier on the retail bench — it reduces shrink and extends shelf life by increasing the water-handling capacity of soils, minimizing fertilizer leaching and enhancing root growth.
