Troubleshooting
Plant appears wilted despite water in the tank
Ensure the irrigation wicks are properly seated in both the water tank and the soil, making good contact with the roots. Check if the wicks are clogged and clean or replace them if necessary.
Water tank not emptying
Verify that the wicks are fully submerged in the water and that the soil is not waterlogged. Ensure no air pockets are preventing capillary action.
Climbing system feels unstable
Make sure all frame components are securely locked into place. Ensure the pot is on a stable, level surface.
Difficulty refilling water tank
Clear any obstructions from the side opening. Ensure the water is being poured directly into the tank opening.
