Here's the second pic. These pics show quite well how it looks as if the plants are sitting in a pool of water. However, as the pots actually sit on top of the gel membrane, this prevents the pots from being flooded. The membrane controls the diffusional flow of water (osmosis) into the pot. The plants take what they need through complemetary osmosis and thrive.
