Default Water retention

One Question

I've been looking for that water retention jelly. LOL I opened up a baby
diper and discovered some little cristals. those cristals will expande over
10 time in expantion when put in water.

Is this cristal the same as in the hanging basket mix?
I used it with some indoor plant cuttings,and it worked great.

I think it is.

(I once managed to let one get mixed into the washing machine)

NO the "Baby" crystals are formulated to hold the water and not to
release it again.
