Instructions:

1. Empty the contents of one package (colored balls) into 1 liter (quart) of water. For best results also add 1 teaspoon of liquid fertilizer (e.g - Miracle Grow).
2. Let contents soak in water for 6-8 hours. After this time it will be clearly evident that the colored balls will have increased in size tremendously, as they will have absorbed water.
3. Using a strainer, remove the colored balls from the water and place them in a container of your choice (vase, flower pot).
4. Place the plant in the container after removing as much soil as possible from the plant's roots.
5. Should the plant have no soil at all, simply place it right in the container with the soaked balls. The plant will develop normally and will last for a very long time. These balls also regulate the amount of water absorbed by the plant, thus preventing over-watering which would cause the plant to wilt prematurely.

Tierra Viva balls are non-toxic (child-safe/pet-safe).
