I think you may be mistaking the water retaining gel used in
gardening with silica gel which is used to maintain a dry
atmosphere in packaging etc.

Under the impression they are both the same, certainly seen one sold
as the other?


I didn't think they were the same thing BICBW, however whatever it is we
have used the water retaining gel in hanging baskets and it certainly
works there.
