Clever systems reduce watering and care

When it comes to the development of Pöppelmann TEKU's extensive product range, they always focus on their customers' requirements – for solutions that deliver genuine added-value. They don't just foresee the handling of plants in the nursery but also keep in mind the needs of retailers and consumers alike. A good example of this development work is the three innovative watering systems, which reduce the amount of watering and care required by plants – for extended durability and even better quality.

Using the Waterwick Systems is easy: a wick is inserted together with the stick from underneath the plant pot. This is then placed into a MDF Coverpot, which is filled with water. The inner edge of the Coverpot creates a cavity between the cultivation pot and the closed pot bottom and thus acts as a practical water storage. The wick absorbs water from the reservoir to ensure that the plant always has the optimal amount of water. The plant decides for itself when and how much water to absorb.

The Qwick System is another self-watering system, which allows you to increase the time between the watering intervals for each individual plant and with little effort. A fleece is placed into the planter and the plant pot is simply placed on top. Now, when the plant is watered, it will take just the amount of water it needs without intervention. The advantage: plants stay healthy for longer and less wastage.

The TCA 27C+ hanging basket is equipped with two water spillways, which can be combined with the MZP 15 sealing plug to allow the volume of the water reservoir to be varied flexibly between 150 ml and 1,500 ml. While the smaller reservoir is perfectly suitable for the cultivation phase, the larger reservoir ensures the optimum water supply to the plants during transport, storage, and in the sales stage. Even end customers benefit from the Flex-Watering system, as it significantly reduces the watering frequency.
