Full details

By utilizing a passive 16-litre smart reservoir and feeder mats, it ensures consistent soil moisture levels to prevent root rot, though users must monitor reservoir levels carefully during intense summer heat to avoid drying out the system.

FAQs

Does this system require electricity?

No, the Chilligrow is a passive system that relies entirely on capillary action.

How long will the reservoir last?

Depending on plant size and temperature, it can last up to 14 days.

Can I use this outdoors?

Yes, it is suitable for outdoor gardens, patios, and greenhouses.

What is the capacity of each pot?

Each individual pot has a 6-litre soil capacity.

Do I need to buy special nutrients?

The set includes 2 x 1L Nutri Gold A & B solutions, though any high-quality liquid chilli feed can be used once those are depleted.

Troubleshooting

Plants appear wilted despite a full reservoir

Check that the feeder mats are still in contact with the soil and are not blocked by mineral buildup or debris.

Water reservoir is not emptying

Verify that the unit is on a level surface and that the feeder mats are properly saturated to initiate capillary action.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your Chilligrow is straightforward: place the feeder mats at the bottom of each pot, fill with your preferred quality potting mix, and ensure the mats connect properly to the reservoir's water path. The system is compatible with a wide range of chilli varieties from dwarf ornamentals to standard bush types. Care involves periodically flushing the reservoir to prevent algae buildup if the unit is in direct sunlight for long periods. During the winter months, ensure the reservoir is drained if the unit is kept in an unheated shed to prevent ice expansion damage.
