The FloraFlex Matrix Pad is an aspect of the FloraFlex Matrix System, which is meant to give your plants regular, uniform watering. It helps plants stay hydrated for healthy growth by consistently distributing nutrients and water throughout the developing period. Anyone who uses drip irrigation or hydroponic systems needs to have this product.

Key Features

The FloraFlex Matrix Pad consists of various key benefits, from properly watering the plants to their care: 

• Even Water Distribution: The Matrix Pad is made to absorb water and spread it out within the media. This means that the entire root zone is watered with the moisture it requires to develop healthy roots and better plant growth.
• Prevents Light Exposure: The Matrix Pad covers the growing medium, preventing light from getting to the medium. This helps prevent algae formation that can damage the plant roots and even plant health. The pad helps promote faster root growth as it keeps the roots dark and is more helpful for growth.
• Perfect Size Compatibility: This Matrix Pad is made for pots from 10.5 inches to 12 inches in diameter. This fits most medium-sized pots well, making it an excellent choice for home growers or commercial growers in these sizes.
• Durable Quality Material: The Matrix Pad is constructed of high quality and non-woven material, which is durable for long run. It is durable enough to be used over and over, so it's an excellent part of an irrigation system that you've had for so many years.

How the FloraFlex Matrix Pad Works

The FloraFlex Matrix Pad is a key element of the FloraFlex Matrix System. Water and nutrients are provided to the system, where they are separated out through a unit resting on top of the Matrix Pad. The moisture is then wicked further into the growing medium through capillary action that provides an even rate of moisture into the roots of all the plants.

The Matrix Pad prevents water and nutrients from being snatched up and dumped in one location of the pot. This is reportedly to facilitate hydration and nutrient absorption, and to foster healthier, more energetic plants.

Easy Installation Process

The FloraFlex Matrix Pad installation is simple and rapid, guaranteeing a hassle-free irrigation system setup.

1. Lay the Matrix Pad on top of the plant’s growing medium so it fully covers the surface.
2. Put the Matrix Unit onto the Matrix Pad, push it down firmly onto the pad in order to secure efficient water passage.
3. Fit the Circulator in the middle of the Matrix Unit, through which water will enter.
4. Attach 1/4" OD tubing to the Circulator to supply water from the irrigation system to the Matrix Unit.
5. As soon as the system is turned on, the Matrix Pad will begin to send water throughout the area.

Summary

For anyone wishing to upgrade their irrigation system, the FloraFlex Matrix Pad is a great option. The Matrix Pad guarantees that plants get the proper amount of water and nutrients, whether they are grown hydroponically or in soil. It's an effective tool that promotes plant health and growth, and any grower's setup would benefit greatly from its even moisture distribution and strong build.
