Interco

Optimum growth climate through a self-draining bottom and waterfilm pricker.

From research we have learned that the roots of a plant develop mainly in the outer bottom ring. When a plant cannot drain optimally after watering, water often remains in the outer bottom ring. Such damp surroundings are the basis for undesired root diseases, such as phytium.

The idea of the self-draining bottom originated from that. All of Interco's products contain an outer bottom ring which slopes down to the lower holes.

The convex inner circle also has a draining function for the lower holes in the middle bottom ring. After watering the plant can drain very well and no 'dead water' will remain in the plant container. Because of this, the oxygen flow can quickly start again.

From practical research we have learned that it is possible for waterfilm to "obstruct" a drainage hole for a long period of time, thus blocking the flow of oxygen.
The waterfilm pricker is a cone-shaped "disruptor", which pricks through the lower surface of the waterfilm. As a result no waterfilm can remain in the hole and the roots are provided with an optimum supply of oxygen via the bottom holes.

All containers from the Interco-range of products contain the patented waterfilm prickers.
