A compact cultivation pot for controlled hydroculture.
Nominal size: Ø 5 × H 5 cm · Colour: black
At the smallest scale of hydroculture, precision matters. Hydroponic Pot 05/05 keeps LECA and roots together in a compact slotted cultivation pot, allowing air and water to move freely while the compatible Pegulator makes the water level easy to read. It is a clean, reusable base for very small plants, rooted cuttings and young root systems that need a careful balance of moisture and oxygen.
Vertical slots open the root zone to LECA, water and air. The matching indicator fits in its dedicated position, and the assembly sits inside a watertight outer pot that forms the reservoir.
Side slots keep the growing medium open to the circulation of air and water.
With the matching Pegulator, you can see when the reservoir is at MIN, OPT or MAX without lifting the plant.
The insert lifts out easily for inspection, rinsing or moving into a larger size.
The Hydroponic Pot is the inner cultivation pot. Reliable operation comes from combining it with a suitable medium, water-level indicator and watertight outer pot.
It holds the roots and growing medium while its slots remain open to air and water.
Choose granules that cannot pass through the slots and do not compress them around the roots.
The version for a 5 cm planting depth fits in its dedicated position and displays MIN, OPT and MAX.
It needs no drainage hole and enough internal room for the pot, indicator and controlled reservoir.
The slotted geometry and indicator are designed for a reservoir-based system.
This use is supported, but watering must follow the needs of the actual growing mix.
The slots drain freely, so no controlled water reservoir is formed.
Work gently and without compression. The goal is a stable plant with open gaps between the granules.
Remove dust and fine residue until the rinse water runs clear.
Fit Pegulator II/5VE in its dedicated position before filling so it sits correctly down to the base.
Hold the plant at the correct height and add granules around it without compacting them.
Place the pot in the watertight outer pot and add water slowly while watching the indicator.
Remove as much old organic material as possible without damaging the roots and check more frequently during the first weeks. Adaptation varies by plant and root system.
For normal use, fill to OPT, allow the level to fall and refill according to the plant's consumption. MAX is not a permanent target.
Check the plant and conditions before refilling; consumption is not the same throughout the year.
Add water slowly to OPT and stop, leaving air available around the roots.
It is intended mainly for a period away, not as a permanent daily-care level.
Use a complete liquid nutrient suitable for hydroculture and follow its label dosage. Refresh the water periodically and flush the system to limit salt build-up.
Nominal upper diameter 5 cm, height 5 cm and base diameter approximately 4 cm. The rim can create a small difference in the overall external measurement.
A black, lightweight and reusable construction that the manufacturer states is suitable for indoor or outdoor use.
Regular checks limit salts, organic residue and anything that obstructs water flow.
Use lukewarm water and a soft brush to remove LECA dust and deposits.
Remove all roots and old material, then sanitise with a method suitable for cultivation equipment.
Do not use a pot with cracks, sharp edges or deformation that prevents a correct fit.

No. The pack contains one Hydroponic Pot 05/05. The compatible Pegulator II/5VE is sold separately.
No. For normal care, refill to OPT. MAX is intended mainly for limited temporary use, such as before a period away, and not as the permanent water level.
Yes. Soil and mixed-culture use are supported. In that case, watering follows the actual growing mix and the needs of the plant; the MIN–OPT–MAX routine applies to a hydroculture reservoir system.
Use well-rinsed granules that cannot pass through the slots of this pot. The correct particle size should support the roots without blocking the openings.
It is intended for very small root systems, young plants or rooted cuttings, provided the roots fit comfortably within the actual internal space. Choose by the volume and shape of the roots, not by the plant name alone.
Yes, according to the manufacturer. However, the outer pot must be protected from uncontrolled rainwater filling and from conditions that could overheat or freeze the reservoir.
Move up when the roots fill the available space, press into the slots or cannot be positioned without folding and compression. Choose a larger size with its matching indicator.
