Succulents

Succulents also benefit from the controlled water rate and repeatability provided by the Vergrowth system. With its level of control, there is little risk of over watering whenever your succulents need a drink.

     Although the growing medium of succulents should be allowed to dry between waterings, it is still advantageous to distribute the water in a gradual, consistent manner when water is supplied.

     This gradual, automatic watering of succulent house plants avoids overflows and allows the water to be distributed more uniformly through the growth medium.  The consistent watering rate provided by the automatic watering system provides the plants with the nourishment they need without over watering or overflow.      Once the growth medium has been thoroughly watered, the reservoir can be removed, leaving behind only the relatively unobtrusive top of the hydrator and the wicks, which are buried. The picture below left shows a Crassula Ovata with a water globe in place. On the right is the same plant without the reservoir.

This illustrates the use of an automatic watering system for succulent houseplants. The hydrator is placed in the potting soil and receives the output of the water reservoir. The water is transferred from the hydrator to the houseplants by wicking action. In this case, the water supply is from a re-purposed lemon juice bottle. Water for the houseplant may also be supplied by another type of reservoir, a watering globe for example. The requirement is that the output tube fit into the hydrator, thus making an automatic watering system for houseplants. Note that the water distribution is automatic but adjustable via the wicks supplied with the houseplant watering kit. The plant watering system hydrator can be placed anywhere in the pot. This plant is a Crassula.

Below are some additional pictures of succulents (cacti) with and without the reservoir in place. Note that the hydrator in this case is white in color - for purposes of clarity. In actuality, the hydrators for these automatic house plant watering systems are black in order to be inconspicuous.
