Compact Size. Full Wicking Performance.

Turn almost any round pot into a self-watering system with proven WaterUps wicking technology – in a compact 290mm size.

Why It Works

• Creates a perched water table beneath the soil
• Plants wick moisture upward via capillary action
• Reduces watering frequency
• Minimises surface evaporation
• Prevents wet-dry stress cycles
• Keeps nutrients concentrated in the root zone

NOTE – 0.5L of perlite is needed. A Reservoir Level Indicator is not included in this price but is recommended for inside use. The wicking cell needs to be secured to the round base using 3 screws (not supplied). After placing inside your pot, fill the gap around the outside with gravel. Fill the leg with perlite and cover the entire base with geotextile fabric. If you skip this step and simply fill your pot with soil, the soil around the outside of the wicking kit will siphon the water out of the kit resulting in rapid emptying of the water reservoir.
