Blumat Tropf-Blumat Maxi without Drip Hose

The Tropf-Blumat Maxi acts as a regulator and dripper, just like the standard Tropf-Blumat, however, it is 23 cm long in total and has an insertion depth of between 15-18 cm. Therefore, it's application makes sense only above a container height of 30 cm (tub size 30 cm) or for a planting depth of 30 cm, typical for larger planting tubs and solitary plants in troughs on patios and roof gardens, and also for individual solitary garden shrubs.

The Tropf-Blumat Maxi enables the moisture levels in deeper layers, close to the roots, to be monitored and regulated. Watering occurs more seldom but therefore more intensely - the surface of the tub stays drier.
Before installing the Tropf-Blumat Maxi, a hole is normally predrilled or cored - the clay cone is then inserted and held in place using a mud slurry (see Instructions for Use) in order to achieve good soil contact.

Tip
Predrill or core the hole to assure the necessary contact between soil and ceramic cone.
