MPS System Specifications
Units are matched to listed planter sizes (Inside Diameter or ID) in order to provide the maximum reservoir under average light, temperature, and humidity levels. Installation of a smaller unit may not provide a volume of water sufficient to maximize the interval between watering, which is estimated at 4 to 6 weeks under average conditions.
Optimum planting depths indicated relate to the volume of planting media to volume of water to provide proper irrigation. Planter depth is the distance from the planter rim to the bottom of planter. Approximate height of the root ball will fall within the remaining depth.
WATER CAPACITIES ARE GIVEN AS GUIDELINES TO SERVICE TECHNICIANS.
Tanks are designed for containerized plantings indoors or outdoors.
Benefits from using the Mona Plant System
The reservoir saves time and money, and provides an optimal growth environment for your plants:
Saves water. Water is held in a watertight, plastic reservoir directly under the root ball. This saves water by reducing water loss through evaporation and by holding the water exactly where it is needed. In a period of heavy rainfall, the reservoir will also harvest natural rainwater, and feed it back to your plants.
Reduce maintenance, and keep plants watered. Filling the reservoir is quick and easy with 4-6 weeks watering cycles
Bigger, healthier plants. The air space at the top of the reservoir assists in keeping the roots oxygenated. This keeps the roots healthy and free of water saturation.
Prevent water stains and decrease liability. Our planters are waterproof and when used the Mona Plant System, prevents staining from run-off on hotel flooring, decks, roof terraces, and balconies. It also decreases potential liability at high traffic pedestrian areas near entrances.
Reduce fertilizer usage. The reservoir is a closed system with fertilizers confined within the container, they are used only when needed. As a result, you will use less fertilizer and increase its effectiveness.
