The Pegdev Indoor Capillary Matting (Pdl) is a cost-effective watering solution for home and professional gardeners seeking healthier plant growth with reduced effort. Its primary benefit is consistent, bottom-up moisture distribution, eliminating overwatering and drying out. A potential caveat is the need for a water reservoir to supply the matting. This durable matting, made from recycled fibers, features a 3.5-litre per square meter water-holding capacity, ideal for display areas, greenhouses, nurseries, and retail settings, supporting optimal plant vitality.

It is ideal for plants that prefer consistently moist soil, such as many tropical plants, seedlings, and common houseplants. It's less suitable for succulents or plants that require their soil to dry out between waterings.
The matting can be easily cut to the desired size using sharp scissors or a utility knife.

Reduce the water level in the reservoir or ensure the matting is not oversaturated. Check that the pots have adequate drainage holes.
Clean the matting thoroughly with a mild disinfectant or bleach solution (diluted), rinse well, and allow it to dry completely before re-use. Ensure good air circulation around the plants.
