Make sure the cap is food grade plastic...

why food grade?

Thanks for the question.
If we used non food grade plastic for our gardening, it will degrade with time and by that, the toxic contained in it will release slowly. The plant roots absorb the water and nutrients from the ground, but also take the toxic. Then, we eat the plant. It's bad for us, in a short or long term.
I put a link below for more understanding.

The jell will last forever. I've been using it in my garden and large pots for years. I use Soil Moist brand because it is safe to use in gardens, not harmful to skin, etc.
