Mona Plant System

Inspired by Nature

Introduction

An advanced and well proven subterranean irrigation system suitable for interior and exterior planting applications. The Mona Plant System is versatile, cost effective and environmentally friendly. The perfect solution for any sustainable landscaping project large or small.

The Mona Plant System ensures water and nutrients are delivered in the correct quantity to the roots of plants and trees. This results in healthy root development and optimum growth.

A subterranean self contained system
Manufactured in the UK, all parts are recyclable
No Mechanical, electrical or moving parts
Simple to install
Plant's roots absorb water from the Mona tanks as and when they require it. (Capillary action)
Eliminates over-watering and water waste
Aerates soil
Reduces watering frequency

Today, the Mona Plant System is distributed in the United States by MonaPlantSystem.com. It has been specified on many projects across the UK, Europe and USA for over 40 years.

Mona Plant System
How it works

Mona tanks are filled with water via a filler pipe above ground
Tanks act as reservoirs to hold the water
Roots absorb the water via the process of capillary action as and when required by the plant
A healthy root ball is established and maintained
Mona Tanks are filled with water via a filler pipe above ground

Naturally a plant takes on essential water and nutrients from the soil. Transporting water through its roots. It does this through the process of capillary action, which occurs when the roots absorbing the liquid are stronger than the force of gravity.
The water is then pulled through the soil, direct to the plant’s roots absorbing nutrients from the soil on the way. Each yellow tank in the Mona Plant Systems act as a water reservoir, storing water underground to provide essential water and nutrients as and when required.
The yellow reservoirs contain internal capillary legs that can irrigate the roots of plants sitting 6 inches above the reservoir and within a 16” diameter. The Mona Plant System provides a more natural pattern of feeding for the plant resulting in stronger healthier blooms.

Plant System Links

Probably the most versatile of all the Mona Plant Systems, the links can be incorporated into a variety of projects and landscape designs. Each yellow tank is connected via a flexible connecting tube allowing for any configuration of link system to be built into the specification

The Mona Plant System was developed in Sweden over 40 years ago after extensive research in to the growth and success of plants and trees in an urban environment

Plant System Ring

Mona Plant System Rings have been developed specifically after requests from specifiers and contractors wishing to effectively and efficiently irrigate a tree root ball or a planter. It is the most efficient method of ensuring quick establishment and a health start for trees and plants.

Plantsava Installation

The Plantsava system comprises of a reservoir tank, filler pipe, air cap, float and capillary leg.
Insert the capillary leg into the central hole of the reservoir tank.
Place the ﬂoat inside the filler pipe.
Insert the filler pipe into the secondary hole within the reservoir tank.
Fill the capillary leg(s) with a small amount of growing media. Water the soil in the capillary leg.
Insert the assembled Plantsava unit into the planter, ensuring the top of the filler pipe is level with the top of the planter.
Fill with growing media and plant your choice of plants ensure the depth between the plants roots and top of the reservoir is no more than 6 inches.
Top water for the first two weeks so the roots get established enough to start drawing water from the tanks.

Mona Plant System Rings have been been installed in many projects across the USA and Canada. Particularly suitable for interior landscape projects with large planter installations. Ensures quick establishment of plants and healthy root development, the system also provides a more robust solution to the watering of newly planted trees. Mona Plant System Reservoirs surround the root ball to provide a continuous source of water. The system forms a ring around the root ball to ensure optimal growth. Ideal for the installation of root ball trees in hardscaped areas.
