Troubleshooting
Watering too slow or not at all.
Check for blockages in the cone. Ensure the bottle is not airtight; there should be a small gap for air to enter. Rinse the cone under clean water.
Bottle is emptying too quickly.
Check the soil's moisture level. Ensure the cone is properly inserted and that there are no leaks from the bottle connection.
Instability with larger bottles.
Use the included stabilizer to provide better support. Ensure the soil is firm enough to hold the cone.
