This releases the nutrients slowly and continuously so that the plant is evenly supplied over a longer period of time. - If the plant is watered less frequently but thoroughly and penetratingly, the plant roots are encouraged to penetrate deeper into the soil. This enables the plant to survive dry periods better.
