Horta-Sorb LG water-absorbing granules keep plants healthy by retaining moisture at the root zone. Hydrated polymers slowly release water, reducing stress and extending irrigation intervals. Ideal for large-scale plantings, hydro-mulching, transplant amendments, and shipping, Horta-Sorb LG helps agriculture, horticulture, and landscaping professionals improve watering efficiency.
Price range: $65.95 through $531.67
Horta-Sorb® LG water absorbing granules are a professional-grade moisture management solution designed for use in large-scale plantings, forestry, hydro-mulching, and landscaping. These large-sized gel polymers absorb hundreds of times their weight in water and slowly release it, helping maintain consistent moisture levels in the root zone. This results in reduced irrigation needs by up to 50% and better overall plant performance.
Unlike standard watering methods, Horta-Sorb LG creates a reservoir of available water right where roots need it most. The gradual release of moisture reduces drought stress, supports faster establishment, and enhances long-term plant health. These benefits are especially valuable in dry or drought-prone environments, or where water resources or labor are limited.
Originally adopted as a bare root dip in forestry, Horta-Sorb LG’s effectiveness quickly led to its expansion across other industries. Today, it’s used in greenhouses, nurseries, transplant mixes, hydro-mulching projects, and even “ice pack” solutions for cut flowers and seafood shipping.
If you’re seeking a high-capacity water management solution that lowers labor, improves plant survival, and supports sustainable water use, Horta-Sorb LG water absorbing granules are the trusted choice across horticulture and agriculture.
