Water Stored Below
The reservoir sits below the planting medium. Water is added via an inlet pipe and stored until needed.

The Science
How Wicking Cells Deliver Water
Wicking is a water-efficient growing method that draws moisture up from a subsurface reservoir directly to plant roots β only as needed.
2
Capillary Action
Perlite-filled wicking legs draw moisture upward through capillary action β the same process plants use to drink.
3
Root Zone Delivery
Moisture reaches the root zone precisely when needed. Roots grow downward toward the water source.
