Ensure the wick or capillary system is properly drawing water into the soil. Check that the side opening is closed and the pot is not overfilled with soil, which can impede water flow. Verify the plant's roots have not outgrown the pot, restricting water uptake.
Check the side opening and any other potential blockages in the water reservoir. Ensure the planter is placed on a level surface.
Re-check the assembly of the aluminium support frame, ensuring all parts are securely connected and tightened as per the setup instructions.
Refill the water tank. Consider if external conditions (high heat, direct sun, wind) are causing faster evaporation. Ensure the soil is properly compacted around the water intake.
Setup: The Gusta Garden 104730 planter is designed for easy assembly. First, ensure all components are present. Attach the expandable aluminium support frame according to the provided instructions, ensuring it is securely fixed to the pot. Fill the 20 L pot with your preferred soil mix, leaving adequate space at the top. Fill the 5 L integrated water tank through the side opening until full.
Compatibility: This planter is specifically optimized for chilli plants due to its volume and nutrient delivery system. It is suitable for a wide range of chilli varieties. The planter is designed for freestanding placement and supports indoor/outdoor use. It is compatible with standard potting soil mixes.
Care: To care for your planter, regularly check and refill the water tank as needed. The side opening allows for easy refilling without disturbing the plant. Clean the pot periodically with a damp cloth to remove any soil or debris. At the end of the growing season, clean all components thoroughly and store them in a dry place to ensure longevity for the next season. The aluminium support should also be wiped clean before storage.
