Technical specifications and material analysis

Material Composition Analysis

Our ceramic planters are constructed from a specialized clay mixture that has been optimized for plant cultivation. The material composition directly influences porosity, drainage capacity, and thermal properties.

Through extensive testing, we have identified the ideal balance between structural integrity and functional permeability. This balance ensures that water moves through the vessel at an optimal rate while maintaining sufficient strength for long-term use.

Drainage Channel Architecture

Each planter features engineered drainage channels that guide water away from the root zone. These channels are positioned to prevent water accumulation while maintaining consistent soil moisture levels.

The channel depth and width are calculated based on the planter's volume and intended plant species, ensuring optimal water management for each specific application.

Evaporation Rate Analysis

High Porosity Vessels: 85% Evaporation Efficiency
Medium Porosity Vessels: 72% Evaporation Efficiency
Standard Ceramic: 58% Evaporation Efficiency

The porous nature of our ceramic material allows for natural evaporation, which helps regulate soil moisture levels. This process prevents over-saturation while maintaining adequate hydration for plant roots.

Aeration Zone Mapping

Root systems require adequate oxygen to function properly. Our planters are designed with specific aeration zones that facilitate gas exchange between the soil and surrounding environment.

These zones are strategically located throughout the vessel, ensuring that roots have access to oxygen regardless of their growth pattern. The result is a healthier root system that supports vigorous plant growth.
