Abstract

A composition including a plant medium and a poly-oxygenated metal hydroxide that comprises a clathrate containing oxygen gas molecules. The poly-oxygenated metal hydroxide may comprise of a poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide. The composition may include one or more nutrients. The composition may be in a solid form, a fluid form, or a combination thereof. The poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide is soluble in a fluid. In one embodiment, the poly-oxygenated metal hydroxide composition may have particles having a diameter of 212 μm or less, and which may be homogeneous.

Claims

1. A composition, comprising:

a plant medium, wherein the plant medium is selected from a group consisting of;

soil, dirt, and compost and

a poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide comprising a clathrate containing oxygen gas molecules disposed in the plant medium.

2. The composition as specified in claim 1, wherein the plant medium includes a nutrient.

3. The composition as specified in claim 1, wherein the plant medium comprises soil.

4. The composition as specified in claim 1, wherein the plant medium comprises dirt.

5. The composition as specified in claim 4, wherein the poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide is soluble.

6. The composition as specified in claim 5, wherein the poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide is soluble and can have a concentration of at least 1 milligram of the poly-oxygenated metal hydroxide to 8 fluid ounces of a fluid.

7. The composition as specified in claim 1, wherein the poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide is chlorine-free.

8. The composition as specified in claim 7, wherein the poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide comprises particles each having a diameter of less than or equal to 212 μ

m.

9. The composition as specified in claim 8, wherein the poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide is homogeneous.

10. A combination, comprising:

a plant; and

a composition disposed about a portion of the plant, the composition comprising a plant medium, and a poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide comprising a clathrate containing oxygen gas molecules,

wherein the poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide composition provides free oxygen for sustaining the life and growth of the plant.

11. The combination as specified in claim 10, further comprising a nutrient.

12. The combination as specified in claim 10, wherein the plant medium comprises soil.

13. The combination as specified in claim 10, wherein the plant medium comprises a fluid.

14. The combination as specified in claim 13, wherein the poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide is soluble.

15. The combination as specified in claim 10, wherein the poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide is chlorine-free.

16. A method of treating a plant, comprising:

delivering a poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide comprising a clathrate containing oxygen gas molecules to a portion of a plant;

wherein the poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide composition provides free oxygen for sustaining the life and growth of the plant.

17. The method as specified in claim 16, wherein the portion of the plant comprises roots of the plant.

18. The method as specified in claim 16, wherein the composition includes a nutrient.

19. A composition comprising cut flowers having flower stems and cut ends of the flower stems, the cut ends of the flower stems disposed in or enveloped with a plant medium including poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide comprising a clathrate containing oxygen gas molecules disposed in the plant medium.
