IKEA PAPAJA Hydropot

Converting an IKEA PAPAJA 12x19 Pot into a Passive Hydroponics Growing Container is a DIY project that requires minimal modifications. Begin by carefully disassembling the plant saucer, ensuring all components are accounted for. Remove any existing drainage holes from the pot's bottom using a drill or Dremel tool. Replace them with four small hydroponic drippers, spaced evenly apart, and secured in place with epoxy resin. The drippers should be designed to release nutrient-rich water droplets onto the roots of the plants at regular intervals. Next, insert a 6-inch deep layer of expanded clay pebbles into the pot, leaving about an inch at the top for planting. Plant your chosen crop directly into the pebbles, ensuring the soil is well-moistened before introducing the plant to the hydroponic system. Place the pot in direct sunlight and maintain a consistent temperature between 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal growth.
