The Pegdev Indoor Capillary Matting (MPN: Pdl) is a cost-effective, durable watering solution for home and professional gardeners seeking healthier plants with reduced effort. This matting ensures consistent moisture distribution from the bottom up, preventing over or under-watering. While it significantly aids plant health and reduces watering chores, it requires proper setup to prevent mold or mildew in consistently damp conditions.

The Indoor Capillary Matting has a water-holding capacity of 3.5 liters per square meter.
This matting is specifically designed for indoor use. Outdoor conditions may affect its performance and longevity.
You can use sharp scissors or a utility knife to cut the matting to your desired dimensions.
It is ideal for plants that require consistent moisture, such as seedlings, many tropical plants, and herbs. It's also beneficial for plants sensitive to watering inconsistencies.
The frequency depends on environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) and the plants' water needs. Check the reservoir regularly, typically every few days to a week.
Yes, it is compatible with most standard plastic, terracotta, or ceramic plant pots, provided they have drainage holes.
The matting is made from durable recycled fibers.
Ensure the matting is in full contact with the water reservoir and that the reservoir itself is filled. Check for any kinks or blockages in the matting's fibers.
Reduce the frequency of watering or ensure better air circulation. Clean the matting thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before re-using. Consider using a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution for cleaning.
Ensure the water reservoir is not overflowing onto the base of the pots. Check that the matting is not excessively saturated and that drainage holes in the pots are clear.
Cut the matting to a size that is more manageable for your setup. Ensure the surface it is placed on is stable and can support the weight when wet.
To set up the capillary matting, first lay it flat on a level surface such as a bench or floor. Ensure the matting is slightly larger than the area where pots will be placed. Place the matting in a watertight tray or container to hold the water reservoir. You can then position your potted plants directly onto the matting. For optimal performance, the matting should be kept consistently moist but not saturated. Cut the matting to size using sharp scissors or a utility knife if needed. Compatibility is high with most standard plastic or ceramic plant pots. Care involves periodic cleaning to prevent algae or mineral buildup. Rinse the matting thoroughly with water and a mild detergent if necessary, and allow it to dry completely before re-use to prevent mold. Check the matting regularly for any signs of damage or wear.
