Operating the Self-Watering System

The self-watering system ensures your plants receive consistent moisture, reducing the frequency of manual watering. Here’s how it works:

1. Penyediaan Tanah: Fill the planting area with a suitable potting mix (e.g., coir or peat mix). This soil will transfer moisture from the reservoir to the plant roots.
2. Mengisi takungan: Locate the fill tube and water level indicator. Pour water into the fill tube until the indicator shows the reservoir is full. The 6-gallon reservoir provides a substantial water supply.
3. Water Distribution: Water is drawn up from the reservoir through wicking action via eight wells, keeping the plant roots consistently moist.
4. Overflow Drains: The planter includes four overflow drains (two per side) to prevent overwatering and ensure proper aeration for root development.

This system is designed to keep plants lush and green, even if you are not consistently available for watering, making gardening accessible for all skill levels.
