What type or kind of wick does Click and Grow use?

Click and Grow uses a capillary wick system made from nylon wicks or a special absorbent polymer material. These synthetic wicks are designed to be highly durable, resistant to mold, and long-lasting, ensuring consistent water flow to the plant roots without rotting like natural fibers.

How Click and Grow Wicks Work

• The wick sits in the water reservoir, drawing moisture up into the soil.
• It provides a slow, steady release of water to the plant’s root zone.
• The material is designed to avoid clogging and deterioration over time.

Can You Replace Click and Grow Wicks with Cotton Rope?

• Cotton rope can work, but it may break down faster than the original nylon wick.
• For a long-term DIY alternative, you can try a nylon shoelace or a microfiber cloth strip to mimic the original material.
