Our capillary mat propagator makes this process easy. Using the constant moisture provided by WaterUps wicking cells, this system provides your seeds and seedlings with the perfect conditions to thrive.

We use a WaterUps Mini Sub-Irrigation Channel to supply the water with our 3 mat system on top. This gives you 800 x 250mm of area for your seedling trays and ~10L of water

Note that the holes of your seedling punnet or pots need to be in contact with the mat to allow the moisture to move up through the soil.

What’s included;

1 x WaterUps Sub-Irrigation channel – basic kit

3 mat capillary system

8L of perlite

No seedling punnets or pots included.

Upgrade your existing pot with proven WaterUps wicking technology. Perfect for indoor plants and decorative containers.

Key Features

• 370mm diameter top plate
• 270mm base diameter
• 133mm high reservoir
• 9-litre water storage capacity
• Dual inlet pipe system
• Designed for pots 370mm or larger

Dual Inlet Design

• One pipe acts as a water inlet
• One pipe acts as a reservoir level indicator

Simply fill until the red indicator reaches the top — then stop.

There is no overflow pipe, making it ideal for indoor use.

No leaks.
No carpet damage.
No nutrient leaching.

Why It Works

• Creates a perched water table beneath the soil
• Plants draw moisture via capillary action
• Reduces watering frequency
• Prevents wet-dry stress cycles
• Keeps nutrients in the root zone
• Cleaner, more controlled watering indoors

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.
