Assembly instructions
If you are using a ‘Holiday Watering Kit’ please use those instructions first.
1.
Pour approximately
half of the capillary
cubes into the planter.
Level them out and
use a watering can to
thoroughly wet them.
Any excess water will just
flow into the reservoir.
2.
Carefully remove
your plant from its pot
and place on top of
the capillary cubes. If
necessary add more
capillary cubes to raise
the plant so the top of
the compost is just
below the top of the
planter.
4.
Fill the planter with
clay pebbles.
5.
Start the pump by
pressing the red
button on the solar
panel and ease the
delivery tube up so
that you can just see
the water coming up
from the delivery tube.

Add the rest of
your plants.
