Operating Instructions
The Urban Bloomer features an integrated self-watering system designed to simplify plant hydration and prevent common issues like root decay and overwatering.
Self-Watering System:
- Water Gauge: A built-in water gauge indicates when plants require additional moisture, taking the guesswork out of watering.
- Water Reservoir: The system includes a reservoir at the bottom of the planter to store excess water, providing a consistent moisture supply to plant roots as needed. This helps prevent both underwatering and overwatering.
- Drainage Tap: A drainage tap is provided to allow for full control over watering. It can be opened to release excess water, preventing waterlogging, or kept closed to retain moisture in the reservoir.
