How It Works

1. Growing Material - Potting mix or soil

 

2. Moisture - Moisture gets wicked from the water reservoir through the HydraFilters™

 

3. Water Reservoir - Large water reservoir lets the roots absorb just the right amount of water

 

4. Hydra Filter™ - Stops soil migration and allows excess rainwater to drain into the reservoir. Plants draw moisture from the reservoir through the soil when needed.

 

5. Overflow Drainage Hole - Allows extra water to exit the reservoir

 

6. Fill Cap & Channel - Removable fill cap protects the channel from debris and directs water to the reservoir
