Lechuza Sub-Irrigation System

The LECHUZA-sub-irrigation system

Spend less time watering, more time enjoying your plant
Just fill up the LECHUZA water reservoir and your plant will become self sufficient!  The integrated water level indicator will reliably tell you when it is time to refill the reservoir.

Its this simple:

  1. Sub irrigationInsert LECHUZA sub-irrigation set (separator, supply shaft and water level indicator) into the planter and place the included LEKA drainage material onto the separator (about 1 inch deep).
  2. Add potting soil to the planter, insert plant with roots, and fill the planter with soil.  Compact the soil well.
  3. For the next three months, continue to top water the plants from above through the soil.
     
    After that, the plant will supply itself from the reservoir.
     
    After three months, your plant's roots will have established themselves enough to obtain water from the reservoir  with out your assistance.
     
    Refill the water reservoir only after the water level indicator (combi-meter) is at 'Min'.
     

Caring for plants has never been so easy!
