| 1. |
Place a piece of capillary mat on the bottom ledge of planter. |
| 2. |
Tuck the sides and ends into the groove that runs around the bottom perimeter of the planter. |
| 3. |
Place the plant material, complete with grow pot, into the planter.
IMPORTANT: The nursery grow pot must have bottom drain holes |
| 4. |
Water each plant individually, allowing excess water to drain out of bottom drain holes. |
| 5. |
Continue to pour water into the planter until the water level reaches 1"
above the bottom of the nursery grow pot. |
| 6. |
The plants use the initial water for the first 5 or 6 days, wick up (capillary action) additional water for the next 4 or 5 days and then go dry for the last couple of days.
IMPORTANT: Plants must be allowed to dry out for at least 2 days. |
| 7. |
Now it's time to WATER THE PLANTER - no need to water each individual plant. By establishing the amount of water used for each planter, you now can determine the desired time schedule for watering - 10 days, 14 days, 18 days, etc. |
