The plant wicks nutrients from the shallow reservoir in the bottom of the tray and the valve responds automatically as the plant grows thirstier. That's it. No pumps to fail. No timers to programme.

Clay pebbles alone drain quickly and need more frequent floods (4-6 times daily). Coco or coco\/pebble blends retain moisture longer, so 2-4 floods daily often works better.
