Write the first review!

A high quality Capillary Matting which transports water quickly & evenly over flat level surfaces allowing a large number of plants to be very easily watered & at the same time creating a good humid atmosphere.

A 1/8" (3mm) thick non-toxic, cotton/polyester material with a water holding capacity of approx. 5 pints per sq. yd. & a capillary lift of about 4" (10cm), i.e. it will draw water up out of a reservoir.
Water the matting by hand or for more constant watering from a Water Reservoir attached to your benches or shelves.
Use the matting either way up; its' dark side is useful for hiding unsightly soil spillage & also discourages algae growth, its' white side will reflect more light which can be beneficial when growing light sensitive plants.
23½" (60 cm) wide, if covering a wider area simply overlap the matting by about ½" to allow water to be carried from one piece to another.
Supplied in continuous lengths to avoid any wastage simply purchase as many metres as required & cut to size.

TOP TIP

Capillary matting can either be watered by hand or for more constant watering be supplied from a water Reservoir attached to your benches or shelves. The water supply should not be above the area to be watered otherwise flooding will occur – ideally it should be level or no more than 4” (10cm) below.

Tips for efficient use of Capillary Matting:

Turn pots and trays regularly to prevent roots growing into the matting.
Reduce water loss through evaporation and inhibit algae growth by covering with perforated polythene.
Use matting on flat, level surfaces to prevent puddles forming.
To use matting on slatted wooden surfaces pin on a sheet of thick polythene to form a flat surface.
