Product description Brand name and product description

The Groasis Waterboxx® plant cocoon is an instrument that supports plants and trees to survive in difficult circumstances without using groundwater or electricity. It collects water by catching rainwater, and also by producing and catching water from condensation. It subsequently distributes the collected water over an extended period, to the tree growing in the center of the Waterboxx® plant cocoon. Furthermore, it stimulates the capillary formation of the soil, prevents the evaporation of groundwater, steadies the temperature around the roots, fights competitive weeds near the planted tree, and helps prevent damage from rodents.
