Self-hydrating system promotes efficient resource management. The built-in water reservoir provides constant moisture to plant roots, supporting their health and lush growth, while also saving the human resources required for regular watering.
Technology
The self-watering technology can be integrated into any planter of your choice, and its capacity is adapted to the size and volume of the specific planter box.
The self-watering system collects excess moisture from the soil and stores it in the water reservoir located at the base of the planter. In most cases, this moisture comes from rainfall, but during prolonged drought, water can be supplied through a water inlet (see the schematic drawing).
The water reservoir ensures that the plant roots can access the stored moisture, so the plants do not need to be watered every day. For planters placed outdoors, the drainage channels excess rainwater away, protecting the plant from overwatering and root rot.
During the first couple of weeks after planting, the soil still needs to be watered regularly. This is necessary to give the roots time to grow. Once the plant’s root system is developed, it can absorb the required amount of water from the reservoir at the base through the process of osmosis. This provides constant moisture without the need for daily watering.
Benefits:
- up to 75% lower water consumption,
- watering needed up to 90% less frequently,
- a stronger root system and healthier plants thanks to constant access to water,
- lower risk of young plants dying off,
- a sustainable water management solution.
Applications:
- planter boxes indoors or outdoors,
- private gardens,
- public outdoor spaces.
