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 rather than 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 into the soil from above. Water in small sprouts to avoid flooding the bottom part. Leaving your plant in the plastic growing pot is totally fine if you use Hapi only as a drainage system.

See image below. A self-sustaining pot consists of two parts. The lower part contains water that - through 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 appropriate amount of natural ropes through the holes in the bottom of the hexagonal upper part.Amount of ropes:

1= Plants with normal water requirements.
2= Plants with above-average water requirements.
3= Plants that require constantly wet soil.

Step 2 - Illustration 2

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

Step 3 - Illustration 3

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