Quadgrow Planter Feeder Mats [Pack of 4]

Made from hiqh quality Capillary Matting, these Feeder Mats are fitted into the base of the Quadgrow Pots prior to planting. These mats transfer water from the Quadgrows Smart Reservoir into the soil around the roots of your plants - precisely where it is needed - maintaining perfect moisture levels at all times.

Supplied as a pack of 4 mats.

Transpiration
As well as water, plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis (they combine water, carbon dioxide and light to produce glucose). They access this carbon dioxide through microscopic openings on their leaves and stems. These openings are called ‘stomata’. The stomata open and close regularly to absorb carbon dioxide and as they do this they also release water, this release of water is called transpiration. If the plant is short of water it won't open its stomato as frequently and therefore it won't photosynthesise as much. Sunny, hot weather increases the rate of transpiration, so plants need more water in these conditions.

It's no wonder then that incorrect watering causes most gardening problems, including blossom end rot and fruit splitting, such as when growing in traditional tomato planters.
