Cut Your Watering Chores by 80%

When we first tested these water-absorbing mats, the results seemed too good to be true. So we asked some of our customers to try them, and they gave Hydro-Mats rave reviews! Each individual mat holds a full quart of water, wicking it up almost instantly and then releasing it slowly, so you water weekly instead of daily. Choice of a set of eight 7" x 7" mats or a 15' L x 21-3/4" W roll.

  • Handy mats let you water potted plants less frequently
  • Fabric contains polymer crystals that absorb water, then release it slowly to plants as they need it
  • Mats can be trimmed to fit your container or hanging basket
  • Choose pre-cut mats or a 15' roll

      Comments about Hydro-Mats:

      It's a little pricey by the "slice." If you're big into planting, (and forgetful about watering), the big roll is the best deal.

            Comments about Hydro-Mats:

            I live in central Florida where we have hot, dry summers. I am not a container person because I can't keep up with watering. These Hydro-Mats work great. When I plant I soak the soil and it stays moist so I don't need to water for at least 2 weeks.
            Buying more.

              great item for those baskets in sunny areas or plants intolerant of mild drought. No more worry about dead hanging baskets after a few days of heat

                  I hung my hydro-mats from shade dot spot-shading devices and let them drip continuously to hydrate my gardenia plants through the summer. It helped a lot and the gardenias sustained through the hottest summer months.

                    I bought this in a roll. The great thing about this product is that you don't have to water as often. I use it in hanging baskets, pots , and any plantings in the ground. Dig a hole, line it with the mat, fill with soil and plant. I love using it.

                        Easy to use. The water does hold the mat as its said. I would strongly recommeded to any one who love flowers but hate to see its dying too quickly.

                          I received the "Birds Nest Planter" as a gift and couldn't imagine that I'd ever be able to grow anything in its small container. I inserted a hydromat before planting and the results have been amazing. Plants are doing well and need watering at most twice per week.

                          this product is wonderful. makes hot-weather watering less of a chore and has lasted in containers for two years (with a bit of new soil). especially useful for very hot & sunny conditions where container pots could dry out quickly. easier to use than the gel crystals. expensive but definitely worth the price. would give it more stars if possible!
