FloraFlex 9 in Matrix Pad - Matrix Wicking System Pad - 12 Count

Even Top Feeding with Replacement Wicking Pads - 12 Count

Uneven watering leaves dry spots in the root zone and wastes nutrient solution. The Matrix Pad is the wicking layer of the FloraFlex Matrix System, a top-feeding design. Water and nutrients enter the Circulator, run down the slope of the Matrix unit, and drip from individual holes in eight maze sections onto the pad, which spreads the solution across the surface.

This unit holds 12 pads, which suits growers running several containers at once or keeping spares on hand for regular pad changes. A single pot gardener can use a few and store the rest. The pad sizing is matched to the 9 in Matrix unit.

Key Features & Benefits

• Wicking surface — spreads solution that drips from the Matrix unit across the media.

• Wide pot range — the system is listed for pots from 7.5 to 18 in diameter.
• 12 pads per unit — enough to outfit multiple containers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What else do I need to use this pad?
A: You need a Matrix unit, a Matrix Pad of the same size, and the matching Matrix Circulator. The pad does not work on its own.

Q: What pot sizes can it be used with?
A: The Matrix System is listed for pots from 7.5 to 18 in diameter. Match the pad size to your Matrix unit.

Q: How does the water reach the pad?
A: Solution enters the Circulator, runs down the slope of the Matrix, and is pushed into eight maze sections. Individual holes in those sections drip it onto the pad.

Q: What is top feeding?
A: Top feeding delivers water and nutrients to the surface of the media rather than from below. The pad helps spread that solution across the surface.

Q: How many pads are in one order?
A: One unit contains 12 pads.
