RETENTIS® turns your soil into a water reservoir.
Work the granules in, plant, water in thoroughly. Made from lignin, a natural component of wood, RETENTIS® stores up to 10 liters of water per kilogram and releases it to the roots over a long period.

RETENTIS® stays active in the soil for 3–5 years, has a near-neutral pH (6.4–7) and can be combined with fertilizer. No synthetic polymers, made from a by-product of the timber industry, made in Austria.

One pack contains 750 g and is enough for 37.5–75 liters of soil, about 3.75 m² of perennial bed or about 7.5 m² of lawn.

Easy to use

Add the granules to your planting substrate, mix thoroughly, plant your plants as usual, and finish with a thorough watering. This activates the hydrogel immediately and provides your plants with consistent moisture over a long period of time.

The correct dosage

Soil/Substrates: 10 – 20 g/liter of soil or substrate; mix evenly

New lawn/reseeding: 100 g/m²; work in dry, approx. 10 cm deep

Perennials & ground cover: 200 g/m²; mix into the top 20 cm

Planting pits (shrubs, trees, etc.) : 10 kg/m³; mix excavated material thoroughly with Retentis®

Root Protection Gel: Mix 0,5 - 0,7 kg with 10 liters of water. Wait 10-15 minutes until the granules have absorbed the liquid, stirring several times. Then immerse the roots for a few seconds.

Work RETENTIS® evenly into the dry soil. As a rule of thumb, use 20 g of granules per 1 liter of potting soil.

Three steps:
1 Mix · 2 Planting · 3 Watering

Extra tip:
Work in fertilizer at the same time:
Mix your proven fertilizer directly into the soil with RETENTIS®. It binds the nutrients and releases them continuously to the plant roots over weeks – no leaching, no nutrient shock.
