Product Information

Full details

The Quadgrow Self-Watering Planter System is an ideal solution for home gardeners who want to maximize crop yields with minimal daily maintenance. Perfect for cultivating heavy feeders like tomatoes, chillies, and peppers, this system uses a passive wicking mechanism to deliver consistent hydration, allowing users to go up to two weeks without manual watering. While the system is highly efficient at preventing root rot, it requires a dedicated flat surface and assembly before the growing season begins to function properly.

FAQs

Can I use this system indoors?

Yes, provided you have adequate light levels for your plants, such as a sunny windowsill or a dedicated grow light setup.

Does this system work with all plant types?

It is optimized for heavy-cropping plants like tomatoes, peppers, chillies, peas, and beans, though it can be used for most container-suitable vegetables.

How often should I clean the feeder mats?

It is recommended to inspect them at the end of every growing cycle. If they appear clogged with soil or minerals, they should be cleaned or replaced to maintain efficiency.

What happens if I overfill the reservoir?

The system includes an overflow mechanism, but it is best practice to fill only to the indicated line to prevent spills.

Do I need to use specific liquid nutrients?

The system includes nutrient bottles designed for liquid-feed compatibility. Generally, use water-soluble nutrients that do not contain sediment to avoid clogging the wicking system.

Is the system frost-resistant?

It is recommended to store the system indoors or in a shed during freezing temperatures to prevent the plastic reservoirs from cracking.

Troubleshooting

Plants appear dehydrated despite water in the reservoir

Check that the feeder mats are properly positioned and making full contact with the bottom of the pots. Mineral buildup can also clog mats, so rinse or replace them.

Reservoir is leaking

Inspect all connector points and seals. Ensure the unit is on a perfectly flat surface, as uneven weight can cause stress on the connection fittings.

Algae growth in the reservoir

Ensure the reservoir lid is fully closed to keep light out of the water chamber. Use a mild diluted bleach solution to sanitize the reservoir between growing seasons.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces watering frequency to up to 14 days
  • Promotes larger harvest yields for tall cropping plants
  • Prevents root rot through advanced wicking technology
  • Large 30-litre reservoir reduces risk of plant dehydration
  • Durable design suitable for multiple growing seasons

Cons

  • Requires assembly before initial planting
  • Best suited for flat, stable surfaces
  • Occupies more physical space than standard individual pots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup begins by positioning the reservoirs on a firm, level surface to ensure even water distribution. Insert the feeder mats into the designated trays, ensuring full contact with the soil pots to facilitate capillary action. Connect the reservoirs using the provided hardware, making sure all seals are tight to prevent leaks.

For ongoing care, keep the reservoir covered to prevent evaporation and algae growth. Periodically check the water level via the integrated indicator. During the off-season, disassemble the system and wash the feeder trays and pots with mild soap and water. Ensure the feeder mats are cleaned or replaced if they have become heavily compacted or laden with mineral deposits, as this can impede wicking performance.
