1. Unpack the Pot: Carefully remove the flower pot from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Check Drainage: Ensure the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot are clear. These holes are crucial for preventing waterlogging and allowing excess water to collect in the integrated saucer.
3. Add Soil: Fill the pot with appropriate potting soil for your chosen plant. Leave sufficient space at the top for watering.
4. Planting: Carefully place your plant into the pot, ensuring its roots are well-covered with soil. Gently pat down the soil around the plant.
5. Initial Watering: Water the plant thoroughly after planting. Excess water will drain into the integrated saucer.

3. Operating

The KORAD Dekor 088 flower pot is designed for ease of use and optimal plant health.

• Watering: Water your plant as needed, allowing water to flow through the soil and collect in the integrated saucer. This system ensures that the plant can absorb water from below as required, preventing root rot from standing water around the roots.
• Monitoring Water Levels: Periodically check the saucer for excess water. While the integrated saucer is beneficial, prolonged standing water can still be detrimental to some plants. Empty the saucer if it remains full for an extended period.
• Plant Placement: The 16 cm diameter makes this pot suitable for various small to medium-sized plants, including herbs, succulents, and decorative foliage. Place it on windowsills, tables, or shelves to enhance your living space.

4. Maintenance

• Cleaning: The high-quality plastic material makes the pot easy to clean. Use a soft cloth and mild soap with water to wipe down the exterior and interior as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the glossy finish.
• Drainage Check: Regularly inspect the drainage holes and the integrated saucer to ensure they are free from debris or soil buildup, which could impede proper water flow.
• Repotting: As your plant grows, it may require repotting into a larger container. Follow standard repotting procedures when necessary.

5. Troubleshooting

• Problem: Water is not draining.
  Solution: Check if the drainage holes are blocked by soil or debris. Gently clear any obstructions. Ensure the pot is placed on a level surface.
• Problem: Plant shows signs of overwatering (e.g., yellowing leaves).
  Solution: Reduce watering frequency. Empty any standing water from the integrated saucer immediately. Ensure the soil is not constantly saturated.
• Problem: Pot appears dull or scratched.
  Solution: Clean with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive materials to maintain the glossy finish.
