This Indoor Capillary Matting by Pegdev is designed for gardeners seeking a low-effort, highly effective watering solution for indoor plants. Its key benefit is consistent, bottom-up moisture delivery, promoting healthier root development and reducing the risk of over or under-watering. A potential caveat is the need for a water reservoir to keep the matting consistently damp. This matting offers an innovative approach to plant care, ideal for display areas, greenhouses, nurseries, and retail settings, helping to maintain plant vitality with minimal intervention.

The refill frequency depends on environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, light) and the size and number of plants. Check the reservoir daily initially to establish a pattern, then refill as needed. It typically lasts several days.
This matting is designed to be the primary watering source, drawing water directly to the base of pots. It's generally not used in conjunction with self-watering pots, as it could lead to over-saturation.
Made from durable recycled fibres, the matting is designed for longevity. With proper care and cleaning, it can last for several growing seasons.
No, this matting provides consistent moisture, which is detrimental to succulents and cacti that require dry conditions between waterings. It is best suited for plants that prefer consistently moist soil.
You can clean the matting by rinsing it with water. For stubborn dirt or algae, use a mild soap or a diluted bleach solution (1:9 bleach to water), followed by a thorough rinse. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
Yes, the matting can be used on floor surfaces, provided it is laid flat and has access to a water reservoir. Ensure the floor area is protected from potential water spills.
Ensure the matting is fully saturated initially. Check that the water reservoir is consistently filled and that the matting edge is submerged. Ensure pots are in good contact with the matting surface and not elevated.
Reduce the water level in the reservoir or increase ventilation around the plants. Consider if the plant species requires periods of drying out. Ensure the matting is not saturated to the point of waterlogging.
Clean the matting with a mild bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) or a horticultural fungicide. Allow the matting to dry out completely between waterings for a short period. Improve air circulation.
This may indicate the matting has reached the end of its lifespan or has been exposed to harsh chemicals. Replace the matting if significant degradation occurs.
