Connect the provided USB Type-C cable to the charging port on the back of the Ivy planter. The device will display a charging expression on its screen. For optimal performance, it is advised to keep the Ivy planter connected to power.

2. Plant Preparation

Select a plant with a proper size (approximately 2 inches) that fits comfortably into the inner pot. Gently remove excess soil from the bottom of the plant's root ball, taking care not to harm the roots. Place the plant into the inner pot and level the soil surface. Clean any excess soil from the inner pot before proceeding.

3. App Connection and Plant Selection

Download the companion app (e.g., Tuya app) to your mobile phone. Connect the Ivy planter to your phone via Wi-Fi. The app allows you to select the type of plant you have placed in the planter, which enables Ivy to provide tailored care guidance. The app also provides real-time monitoring of your plant's environment.

Operating Instructions

1. Plant Care Guidance via Emojis

Ivy uses expressive emojis on its screen to communicate your plant's needs. These expressions provide guidance on watering, light exposure, and other environmental factors. For example, a "crying" emoji might indicate a need for water, while a "sweating" emoji could mean the plant is too hot.

Image: The Ivy planter's screen showing different emoji expressions that correspond to soil moisture levels (e.g., 50ml, 0ml, 30%, 15% water level) and luminance (e.g., 260, 760, 1500, 3260 units lux). This visual feedback helps users understand their plant's condition.

2. Gesture Interactions

Ivy features rich gesture interactions. You can interact with Ivy by touching specific areas, and it will respond with different expressions. For instance, "hugging" the planter might elicit a happy expression.

3. Smart Home Integration and Additional Functions

Ivy integrates with the Tuya ecosystem, allowing it to act as a smart home remote control, activating space lighting with a touch. The screen can also switch to multiple functions, including time and weather display, Pomodoro clock mode, and a digital photo frame.

Maintenance

1. Watering

Ivy's automated watering system ensures your plants receive the correct amount of water. The app allows you to set watering intervals and durations. Always ensure the water tank is filled when prompted by Ivy's screen or the app.

2. Cleaning the Inner Pot

Regularly clean the inner pot to prevent mold or bacterial growth. After repotting or when changing plants, ensure the inner pot is thoroughly cleaned and dried before reuse.

3. Battery Life and Power

Ivy requires a constant power connection for real-time monitoring and optimal plant growth. While it has a built-in battery, continuous charging is recommended. To extend battery life when unplugged, enable "Night Mode + Smart Sleep" settings, which can extend usage to 2-3 days.

Troubleshooting

• Q: Does Ivy need to be connected to the charging cable all the time?
  A: Yes, for real-time monitoring of plant health and optimal growth, it should be linked to the charging cable.
• Q: Why can't Ivy detect the plant?
  A: The soil may be too dry. Add some water to the water tank and place the plant inside. Wait for more than half an hour for the soil to absorb enough water, then check if it can be detected.
• Q: Why is Ivy able to become smart?
  A: Ivy's intelligence comes from its plant behavior tree. Through machine learning, Ivy continuously learns and becomes more intelligent in plant care.
• Q: Ivy is frozen or stuck on a crying screen.
  A: Ensure the water tank has sufficient water and the plant is properly placed. If the issue persists, try resetting the device by pressing the button on the back.
