    Right Tree, Right Place

    Choose a tree that suits your site. Consider your climate, the available sunlight, the tree's mature size, and how it matches your soil type. Picking the right tree ensures it has the best chance to flourish.

    Correct Planting

    How you plant matters! The root flare (where the trunk widens) should be at or slightly above ground level. The hole should be wide enough for roots to spread, and handle the roots gently to avoid damage.

    Get ready to give your new tree the perfect start!

    With H₂Ortigator your young tree will receive a gentle 0.15 litres of water every hour. That adds up to a steady 3.6 litres over a full day, and a good 25 litres throughout the week – all delivered continuously to help your tree establish strong roots.
    And the best part? This is the most the H₂Ortigator will apply, so you can't overwater your precious new plant!

    Happy Soil, Happy Plants!

    It's full of microbes and tiny critters that break down nutrients. They love consistent moisture, exactly what H₂Ortigator provides.

    H₂Ortigator also shades the soil under the pod, protecting it from sun and drying. This moisture and cooler temperature are vital: they stop fine feeder roots from drying out and dying back. This saves your young tree precious energy, letting it focus on healthy development.

    A healthy, moist, shaded environment means beneficial organisms thrive, roots stay strong, and the nutrient cycle hums. That's the perfect healthy root zone (rhizosphere) for your plants to truly thrive!
