ClayPonic V2 employs wick’s capillary action in which seedlings are transplanted directly into ceramic 3D printed growing trays. The porosity of ceramic as a growing medium facilitates greater oxygenation and maximizes the capillary action, ensuring efficient nutrient and water delivery to the plant’s rhizosphere (root zone). Plants with shallow roots that can tolerate fluctuations in water availability are well-suited for ClayPonic V2.
