What is Plant Pad?
Plant Pad is a biodegradable root-zone solution designed to optimize the balance between water and oxygen where plants need it most. Placed directly beneath the roots, it creates stable growing conditions that support healthier plants and higher yields.
What is it made of?
PlantPad is made from natural, biodegradable materials.
It consists of a jute layer, a virgin paper layer, and a biopolymer gel core, bound with natural bio-based glue. Optional nutrient pellets can be added to support early plant development.
How Does It Work?
PlantPad manages water and oxygen at the root zone.
During irrigation, the biopolymer gel absorbs and stores water. As the soil dries, it gradually releases moisture while maintaining air space around the roots, creating optimal conditions for growth.
Where Is It Applied?
PlantPad is applied directly beneath the root zone.
It is suitable for pots, containers, beds, open-field cultivation, and hydroponic systems, making it adaptable across crops and professional growing environments.
Why It Matters
PlantPad delivers measurable benefits.
Growers achieve water savings, stronger root systems, more uniform crops, and improved productivity, supporting both sustainable and profitable cultivation.
From sustainable cultivation to scalable production
Plant Pad optimizes water and oxygen at the root zone. The Plant Pad Destacker ensures this solution can be applied efficiently, consistently, and at scale within professional production processes.
What is the Plant Pad Destacker?
The Plant Pad Destacker automates the application of Plant Pads within professional production processes. It enables fast, consistent placement during planting, reducing manual handling.
How Does It Work?
The Destacker separates and positions PlantPads automatically.
It integrates into existing planting or potting lines, ensuring each PlantPad is placed accurately and consistently at the correct location.
Why Automation Matters?
Professional cultivation requires speed and consistency.
As production scales, manual placement becomes labor-intensive and error-prone. Automation ensures uniform application without slowing down production lines.
Operational Benefits
Automation improves efficiency and cost control.
By reducing labor requirements, minimizing handling errors, and maintaining production speed, the Destacker lowers operational costs at scale.
Built for Professional Growers
Designed for scalable production environments.
The PlantPad Destacker supports high-throughput operations and helps growers integrate sustainable cultivation without disrupting existing workflows.
Sustainable Extra Profitable Cultivation, Made Scalable
Plant Pads and the Plant Pads Destacker are designed to function as a single solution. While Plant Pad optimizes water and oxygen at the root zone, the Destacker ensures consistent, accurate placement at scale. Together, they deliver reliable increased plant performance with operational efficiency built in.
Plant Pad Destacker
The Plant Pad Destacker is engineered to seamlessly integrate into professional production lines, automating the precise placement of Plant Pads in plant pots. With synchronized timing and adaptive configuration for different pot sizes, it ensures consistent application, reduced labor, and maximum operational efficiency, delivering reliable performance at scale.
Key Benefits for
Professional Growers
PlantPad solutions deliver measurable improvements in efficiency, quality, and cost control across professional cultivation systems.
Water Efficiency
Plant Pad optimizes water delivery at the root zone by storing moisture in the gel, thousands of tiny water-/nutrient reservoirs aimed to reduce waste and improve uptake. This enables up to 40% moisture reduction while maintaining stable growing conditions.
Root Performance
Plant Pad balances water/nutrient and oxygen where plants need it most for healthy growth. This supports stronger root development and more resilient plants. The better the roots, the better the performance.
Growth & Yield
Improved root-zone conditions accelerate plant development and nutrient uptake. This results in faster cultivation cycles and/or higher yields per square meter.
Crop Quality
Uniform root and plant development leads to predictable plant growth and structure. This results in compact, consistent, market-ready crops every cycle.
Process Automation
The Plant Pads Destacker automates application of Plant Pads into the plant pots within professional production processes. This ensures consistent placement while reducing handling errors.
Cost Control at Scale
By using Plant Pads in combination with the Plant Pads Destacker at Scale the costs per plant unit will decrease, improving margins, thus more profit per plant, integrates into professional production processes and, with automated placement solutions, reduces input use, plant drop-outs and transport losses. Resulting in a faster Return On Investment (ROI) and a lower Footprint.
Applications across professional cultivation
PlantPad solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of professional growing environments. Whether cultivation is soil-based, containerized, or automated at scale, PlantPad supports consistent performance and efficient resource use.
Plant Pads improve root-zone stability in controlled environments, supporting uniform growth, efficient water-/nutrient use, and predictable production cycles.
Greenhouses
Plant Pads enhance water retention and root aeration under variable outdoor conditions, helping crops withstand drought, heat stress, and irregular rainfall.
Open-Field Cultivation
In container-based systems, Plant Aeration Drain System cq. Plant Pads ensure precise water and oxygen management, reducing stress, uneven growth and over-irrigation.
Pots & Containers
By strengthening early root development, Plant Pads increase plant vitality, reduces losses, and improve consistency throughout the propagation and growing phases.
Nurseries & Young Plants
Plant Pads integrate easily into traditional soil cultivation, improving root performance and water-/nutrient efficiency without changes to existing practices except for reduced water gifts or intervals between the water gifts.
Soil-Based Systems
Plant Pads complement hydroponic setups by stabilizing moisture and oxygen availability at the root zone, supporting healthier root systems and consistent plant development except for reduced water gifts or intervals between the water gifts.
