The Pegdev Indoor Capillary Matting (Pdl) is ideal for home gardeners and professional growers seeking an efficient, cost-effective, and consistent plant watering solution. Its primary benefit is ensuring plants receive optimal moisture from the bottom up, promoting healthier root development and reducing watering frequency. A key consideration is the need for a water source and containment system to function effectively. This matting is constructed from durable recycled fibers and boasts a 3.5-litre per square meter water-holding capacity, making it suitable for display areas, greenhouses, nurseries, and retail settings.

This product is specifically designed for indoor use. Outdoor conditions may affect its performance and longevity.
The frequency depends on environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) and the number/type of plants. Monitor the matting to ensure it remains consistently moist, and refill the reservoir as needed.
Yes, it is safe for most indoor plants that benefit from consistent bottom-up moisture. However, plants with very specific watering requirements (e.g., preferring to dry out completely between waterings) may not be suitable.
It can be cleaned by rinsing with water and, if necessary, a mild, plant-safe detergent. Ensure it is rinsed thoroughly.
The matting is available in various lengths, but its width is standardized for efficient coverage.
No, the matting is sold separately and requires a compatible tray or water reservoir for proper function.
Ensure the matting is fully saturated from the water source and that there are no air pockets. Check that the water reservoir is consistently filled and the matting edge is properly submerged.
Verify that the plants' pots have adequate drainage holes. Ensure the matting is not overly saturated to the point of waterlogging the pots. Adjust the water supply if necessary.
Clean the matting regularly with a mild, plant-safe cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Ensure good air circulation in the growing area. Allow the matting to dry out periodically if possible.
Check the water reservoir level; it may be empty. Ensure the matting is in good contact with the water source and is adequately wetted. Increase the water flow if using an irrigation system.
Setup: To set up the capillary matting, first ensure the surface it will be placed on is clean and level. Lay the matting flat, then place your pots or grow bags directly on top. The matting needs to be consistently moist; this is typically achieved by placing one edge of the matting into a water reservoir (like a tray or channel) or by using a drip irrigation system that keeps the matting saturated. Ensure the water source is sufficient to keep the matting damp.
Compatibility: This matting is compatible with most standard plant pots, grow bags, and plant trays. It is designed for indoor use and works well on benches, shelves, or floor surfaces. It is ideal for use in greenhouses, nurseries, retail displays, and home gardening setups.
Care: Periodically clean the matting to prevent the buildup of algae, mineral deposits, or soil. Gently rinse with water and a mild, non-toxic cleaner if necessary. Allow the matting to dry completely before re-using if storing it. Check for any signs of wear or damage and replace as needed.
