FAQs
What is the purpose of the gravel or sand?
The gravel or sand provides a reservoir for water, allowing the plants to absorb moisture through the pots, and prevents the pots from sitting directly in water.
Can I use this tray outdoors?
Yes, but ensure it's in a sheltered location to prevent excessive evaporation and water loss.
How often should I water?
Check the water level every few days and add water as needed. The frequency depends on the plant type, the environment, and the size of the pot.
What kind of plants are best suited for this tray?
Plants that prefer high humidity, such as ferns, orchids, and seedlings, will thrive in this tray.
Is the tray durable?
Yes, it is impact-resistant and UV-sensitized, designed for long-term use.
Can I plant directly in the tray?
No, the tray is designed to hold plant pots; do not plant directly in the tray.
How do I clean the tray?
Clean the tray with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
