growing smarter
Plants grown in GreenSmart self-watering pots out-perform and out-yield those grown in traditional backyard gardens.
These pots utilise a unique self-watering system that uses less water than in-ground cultivation. The plastic cover reduces the evaporation rate and returns the condensed water vapour back to the reservoir. The fully contained system can be placed anywhere with minimal fuss or mess. The result allows the plants to receive all nutrients as and when they need.
Plants absorb moisture through their roots and lose it through their leaves. The roots draw up water through a process of osmosis. This phenomenon is the result of, what is referred to as, transpiration pull.
Plants in our self-watering pots have continuous access to water so transpiration pull is never interrupted. The plants grow continuously at peak performance. Another benefit of the self-watering pot is the ability to add fertiliser to the water itself. You can use a dilute solution added to the water, and the plant receives a tiny amount throughout the growing season.
Plants growing in GreenSmart cannot be over-watered due to the placement of the overflow holes, which are also designed to create an air cushion between the potting mix lying on a perforated inner plate and the water reservoir.
