The Pegdev Indoor Capillary Matting is an ideal solution for both hobbyist gardeners and professional nursery operators looking to automate consistent plant hydration. By utilizing a bottom-up watering method, this matting promotes robust root development and minimizes the risk of overwatering or drought-related plant stress. While it is highly efficient at water distribution, users should note that the matting requires a level, watertight surface beneath it to prevent potential moisture buildup on shelving or flooring.

Yes, the matting can be easily cut with standard household scissors to fit your specific trays or bench dimensions.
No, it should be kept damp, not necessarily sitting in deep water, to encourage healthy roots without causing rot.
Yes, the durable recycled fibres are designed to be reused across multiple growing seasons with proper care and cleaning.
It works best with pots that have open drainage holes at the bottom to facilitate the capillary action.
It is primarily designed for indoor, greenhouse, or controlled nursery environments; outdoor use is possible but requires a waterproof container or tray to hold the matting.
Check that the pot base is in firm, direct contact with the matting and that the matting is sufficiently saturated.
Ensure the matting is kept away from direct, high-intensity heat sources and replenish the water reservoir frequently.
Increase airflow in your growing area and avoid over-saturating the matting beyond its holding capacity.
To set up your Pegdev matting, first ensure your bench or tray surface is clean and level. Lay the matting flat, ensuring there are no folds or creases that could impede water flow. Once laid, saturate the matting with water until it is evenly dampened. When placing pots on the surface, ensure they have drainage holes at the bottom to allow for water uptake. To maintain the system, periodically flush the matting with clean water to prevent the buildup of salts or algae. If the matting becomes excessively dirty or clogged with soil debris, it can often be rinsed carefully, though regular inspection is recommended to ensure the fibres remain absorbent over time.
