Aqua-Well Capillary / Wick Subirrigation Products --- A simple, inexpensive system to help eliminate water stresses. NO repotting necessary. High quality capillary mat. Wick is rot, mildew and tear resistant. Great for plants with high water demand. Saves money by helping to reduce replacement costs.

The CWI Controlled Watering Insert by Planter Technology --- Features the only system with vacuum sensor technology to balance moisture and oxygen levels in the soil. The largest water reservior of any subirrigation system, allows up to 4 weeks between refills. Narrow wall design drops into most decorative container. Large fill hole is recessed to be less noticeable. Spill proof. Healthy even for low water use plants in lower light levels.

How the controlled watering system balances moisture and oxygen levels:

When the soil is dry the moistrue sensor allows air to pass through the tube into the reservoir, allowing water to flow into the container from the bottom. The water wicks through the soil, irrigating the plant.

As the soil becomes moist, the sensor absorbs water. When wet, it acts like a valve, blocking the flow of air through the tube. A vacuum is formed above the reservoir, preventing further watering until the soil begins to dry.

Biogard Root Barrier Squares --- A simple way of preventing roots from growing into water reservoir. Made from a special long lasting material that forms a chemical and physical barrier, especially useful for plants with aggressive roots.
