Sub Irrigation

Sub-irrigation helps to maintain your plants for longer, and consumes up to 60% less water than traditional planters.

It is recommended that watering over the top at the time of installation is necessary. Potting mix should be moist all the way through.

Using Grow Pots

Internal planters are sealed units, with a unique wicking system to provide your plants with continuous access to available water.

  • GrowPot is suspended on rim of internal bucket.
  • Wick is inserted through base of internal grow pot.
  • To gauge water level, insert dipstick through filler cap.

 

Direct Planting

External planters all come with overflow functionality built in, which regulates retained water to keep your plants healthy. Our internal watering systems use a sealed reservoir system to meet Australian standards for prevention of mosquito breeding environments.
