Use Hapi

Plants with minimal water requirements such as cacti and succulents do not like constantly wet soil. Therefore, in this case it is better to use Hapi as a normal drainage system than as a self-watering pot. A drainage system is a pot with a drainage hole in the bottom (here the hexagonal part) and a system to collect the excess water (here the round bottom part). To use Hapi as a drainage system, place your green friend in the hexagonal part and water the plant directly from above into the soil. Water in small bursts to prevent the bottom part from flooding. Leaving your plant in the plastic growing pot is perfectly fine if you only use Hapi as a drainage system.

See image below. A self-sufficient pot consists of two parts. The lower part contains water that - via a natural rope connection - waters the upper part with the plant. This system is ideal for plants that need a constant supply of water in the soil.

Step 1 - Illustration 1

Insert the correct amount of natural ropes through the holes in the bottom of the hexagonal top.Amount of ropes:

1= Plants with a normal water requirement.
2= ​​Plants with an above-average water requirement.
3= Plants that need constantly moist soil.

Step 2 - Illustration 2

Pour water (max 0.5l) into the round base, place the hexagonal top on top and repeat this when the round base is empty again.

Step 3 - Illustration 3

Place the plant without plastic growing pot in the hexagonal top. The soil in the hexagonal top will now absorb water from the round bottom part via the natural rope. Depending on winter/summer and which plant you have, the bottom part will keep water for 1 day up to 3 weeks.
