MOISTURE MATIC

This automatic pot plant-watering device uses a wicking action via Spongewick^tm to keep your potting mix continuously moist and plants thriving. It is recommended that you use general-purpose potting mix that complies with AusStandard 3743-2003. It may also work in many other planting mixes but you would need to trial these.

Easily fit onto pots with rim width up to 3 cm (clip arm onto narrow pot rims or rest on edge of pots with thick rims). Maximum depth of the watering wick is 10cm. The innovative design results in less evaporation; overflow and spillage are eliminated and under-watering will not be a problem. The low profile design has a 700ml water capacity (do not add fertilizer or other chemicals) and is suitable for 20-30 cm diameter pots. For larger pots use additional Moisture Matics. Once the volume of the pot is fully hydrated you may be able to expect one week between water top ups. This may vary greatly depending on potting mix, plant species, seasonal heat and moisture fluctuations, type of pot, etc.
