Moisture Maxx Non-Ionic Wetting Agent | 8 Ounce Bottle
Water doesn't always go where you think it does. In dry or compacted soil, water runs off the surface or channels through cracks instead of soaking into the root zone. Moisture Maxx fixes that. It reduces the surface tension of water so it spreads evenly, penetrates deeper, and stays available to roots longer. The result: healthier plants, fewer dry spots, and less time standing at the end of a hose.

Simple two-step process — mix, pour, done.
Important: Check plants regularly for water needs. Every plant is different, and soil conditions vary. Moisture Maxx helps water work better — it does not eliminate the need to monitor your plants.

What is a non-ionic wetting agent?
It's a product that reduces water's surface tension so water spreads and soaks into soil more evenly. Instead of running off or pooling, water penetrates deeper and reaches plant roots where it's needed.
How is Moisture Maxx different from just watering more?
Watering more doesn't help if the soil is repelling water or channeling it away from roots. Moisture Maxx changes how water moves through the soil so every drop counts. You actually water less, not more.
Will it work in my soil type?
Yes. Moisture Maxx works in sandy, clay, loamy, and compacted soils. It's designed to adapt to different soil conditions.
How long does one application last?
At the 4 oz rate, approximately 30 days. At the 8 oz rate, approximately 60 days. Results vary based on soil type, heat, and rainfall.
How long does one bottle last?
An 8 oz bottle gives you one 60-day treatment or two 30-day treatments. For larger gardens or multiple planting areas, stocking 2-3 bottles is a smart move.
Can I use it on all my plants?
Yes — it's safe for shrubs, trees, perennials, turf, containers, and vegetable gardens. The Plant Factory uses it on every plant before shipping.
Does it replace watering?
No. Moisture Maxx makes your watering more effective and reduces how often you need to water, but plants still need regular moisture. Check soil regularly.
Is it safe for the environment?
Yes. Moisture Maxx is biodegradable and formulated to have minimal environmental impact.

Note: The images and videos on our site are the best way to show off our products and show how good we are as growers. Depending on the season you buy, you may get a plant that is smaller or bigger than the picture shows. The plant might bloom like it does on our site, but it might not. We cut off the blooms most of the time because they don't ship well. When you buy our plants, think of them as an investment in your future garden, and enjoy the process of seeing it grow to its fullest.
