A Complete Life Support System
The H₂Ortigator Pod supports new fruit trees, natives, and ornamentals by combining watering, weed control, and protection from pests and damage in one simple system. It reduces the day-to-day work involved in helping young plants establish.
Smarter Watering for Stronger Growth
Its patented “little and often” watering system delivers water slowly and directly to the root zone, reducing waste and over-irrigation while maintaining consistent soil moisture. This encourages deeper root growth, reduces transplant shock, and helps plants establish faster and become more resilient.
Convenient & Easy to Use
Simply connect the pod to your existing irrigation, garden hose, or rainwater tank. It refills in under two minutes, and a single fill can last up to two days — saving time on watering, weeding, and monitoring moisture levels.
Sustainable, Award-Winning Kiwi Innovation
Designed and manufactured in New Zealand, the H₂Ortigator Pod is durable, reusable, and made from 25% recycled plastic. Trials have shown water savings of up to 60% per plant, and its innovative design has earned multiple New Zealand irrigation, horticulture, and business awards.
Step one
Place your pod at the plant’s base and press it firmly into the soil until it sits level and stable, ensuring it stays in place while delivering water efficiently.
Step two
The pod can connect to a water source in several ways, giving you flexibility depending on your setup. Each method ensures your plant receives consistent hydration without wasting water.
Step three
Once connected, turn on the water supply and let the pod do the rest. Its automatic valve shuts off when full and allows refilling in under two minutes once pressure is restored.
Manual Hose Fill
To fill the pod manually, replace the 4mm barbed connection with the supplied hose adapter and connect a garden hose. A single fill provides up to 48 hours of watering, keeping your plant hydrated even when you’re away.
Existing Irrigation System
For irrigation lines, use the supplied line punch to make a hole, insert the barbed connector and micro tubing, and connect it to the pod’s 4mm barb. The pod then refills whenever you run your irrigation system.
Direct to Tap
You can also run micro tubing directly from a garden tap, though a pressure regulator may be needed to maintain steady flow. This works well for smaller setups without a full irrigation system.
