Assembly Steps

Step 1: Assembling the Pot Base

Insert the inner pot component into the outer pot. A distinct "Click!" sound confirms that the parts are correctly seated. Avoid using the pot without this inner self-watering mechanism, as indicated by a prohibition symbol [cross].

Visual Description: The diagram shows the two main pot components. An arrow indicates the insertion of the inner part into the outer part. A close-up shows a "Click!" indicator. A separate illustration depicts a plant in a pot without the inner mechanism, marked with a prohibition symbol [cross].

Step 2: Installing the Water Reservoir

Place the water reservoir or wick system into the assembled inner pot. A rotating arrow symbol [rotate] suggests a twisting or locking motion is required for proper installation.

Visual Description: The diagram shows the pot assembly from Step 1. An arrow points to the placement of the water reservoir. A rotating arrow symbol [rotate] is shown. The final image in this step displays the fully assembled pot.

Step 3: Adding Soil and Plant

Carefully fill the inner pot with soil and then place your plant. Ensure the correct amount of soil is used, and avoid overfilling or incorrect assembly, which is indicated by a prohibition symbol [cross] and potential water spillage.

Visual Description: The diagram illustrates the assembled pot. Soil is added to the inner pot, followed by the plant. A prohibition symbol [cross] is shown next to an incorrectly assembled or overfilled pot.

Step 4: Watering the Plant

To water the plant, fill the reservoir through the designated opening. The reservoir has a clear "MAX" fill line; do not exceed this level. An information symbol [information] is present to guide proper watering.

Visual Description: This section details the watering process. Water is shown being poured into the pot, with a clear "MAX" indicator for the water level in the reservoir. A prohibition symbol [cross] is shown if the reservoir is overfilled.

Usage and Maintenance

The VÅRDTRÄD self-watering system is designed to provide consistent moisture to your plants, allowing them to absorb water as needed from the reservoir. Periodically check the water level against the "MAX" indicator and refill the reservoir to maintain optimal conditions for your plants.
