 The Waterboxx® plant cocoon is a planting technology that enables to plant a tree alone, or in combination with shrubs, flowers or vegetables. You can use the Waterboxx® plant cocoon in hot, dry or eroded areas. One year after planting the tree grows independently and does not need irrigation. The Waterboxx® plant cocoon is made of polypropylene and can be reused during 10 years. Each year you can plant a new tree with it. The box gives the water with a wick that functions as a capillary separation between the water and the soil. This way the quantity of given water depends on the humidity of the soil. Together with the box you can use the biodegradable or polypropylene Growsafe plant protector.

You can use the Waterboxx® for 3 different purposes:

• 1 Productive tree in the middle to plant orchards, e.g. vines, olives, etc.
• 1 Productive tree in the middle of the box with one vegetable, one bush or one wild flower.
• 2 Trees and/or plants for ecosystem restoration purposes – this offers the opportunity to plant one tree and 1 bush and/or wildflowers in order to create colonizing micro-ecosystems of pioneer plants to reforest the area. With only 250 Waterboxxes the client can plant 500 pioneer plants per hectare, saving enormous amounts of costs compared to traditional methods.

The Waterboxx® plant cocoon is by far the cheapest method to plant without irrigation in hot, dry or eroded areas. The fact that you can reuse the box during 10 years, planting each year a new tree, makes the cost per tree incredibly low.
