Description
This mat is great for lining seed trays and for use with the Surface-Blumat. The way to set it up is to line your tray or tub with the capillary mat fabric and put the Surface Blumat on top- and when adjusted correctly, the Blumat will automatically turn your water flow on and off based on the moisture level of the cap mat.

Capillary Mat System, 4’ x 4’
Here's a great, automated systems for growing seedlings, starts, and clones. Just hook it up to a gravity reservoir or a pressurized water line (with a pressure reducer) and make sure that those small, vulnerable plants don't dry out or drown.

The water wicks up from the bottom so it doesn't squeeze the oxygen out of your planting mix or disturb delicate seed sprouts like hand-watering easily does.

Take the guesswork out of watering with our Aquamat Capillary Mat kits—designed for consistent, bottom-up hydration that accelerates vegetative growth and increases soil aeration. Each kit is fully customizable to fit your setup. Choose your mat size (2x4, 4x4, or 4x8), select an irrigation control method, and pick the ideal container for your plants.
Irrigation Control Options:
Preset 5-inch BluMat Sensor: Placed into a “pilot” container filled with soil, this sensor regulates water flow into the mat based on soil moisture levels. Best suited for pots 4 inches or larger.
Surface-Mounted BluMat: A bell-shaped ceramic base that attaches to a BluMat sensor and sits directly on the mat. This allows you to fine-tune moisture levels for uniform watering across the mat’s surface. Ideal for cell trays or small containers where inserting a sensor isn’t practical.
No Sensor: For manual watering or use with existing irrigation systems.
Container Options:
Grassroots One-Gallon Bottomless Sleeves: These fabric sleeves maximize aeration while allowing roots to interact directly with the mat. When the plant is ready for transplant, simply place it on top of its new container and let the roots explore out through the open bottom. (Quantities= 10 per 2'x4', 20 per 4'x4', 40 per 4'x4')
1 Gallon Non-Woven Nursery Pots: Made from a biodegradable, and tear-resistant fabric, these bags promote efficient moisture management and airflow. Their permeable surface not only ensures optimal hydration but also allows for quick and easy transplanting into larger containers without the need to remove the bag. The plant's roots will explore right out as if the bag wasn’t even there. (All sizes of Aquamats come with a 50 count)
Perfect for high-density growing, Aquamat kits provide effortless irrigation to multiple plants at once.Please note: These Aquamat kits do not include the complete irrigation setup—you’ll need to add a pressure reducer, bulkhead fittings, or a BluMat pump with supply line and fittings to complete your system.

Effortlessly water a 4x4 area with our Capillary Mat Kit. Controlled by a single preset sensor, this mat provides even, consistent moisture across the entire mat. Gravity-powered and easy to use, this kit removes the need for pumps or timers. Keep your reservoir full and let gravity do the rest.
Sensors arrive pre-calibrated with two markings on the brown adjustment dial - one for gravity and one for pressure systems. This new innovation makes the Blumat Tropf practical for large commercial systems with thousands of plants as well as preventing the most common problems people have while dramatically decreasing setup time for small systems.
Components
This Kit includes:
1 Preset Blumat Capillary Mat- 4x4 (IG19154)

1 Nursery Bags 1 Gallon 50-Pack, Non-Woven Fabric (IG19235)
Description
Great for making your own custom-sized cap mat, good for lining seed trays and for use with the Surface-Blumat or manually filling up a tray. Use this in the middle, regular plastic under and the perforated black foil on top. To automate, use a Surface-Blumat or Tropf-Blumat in a pot. For larger systems, attach BluSoak to the Blumat.
