Troubleshooting
Plants wilting despite water reservoir being full
Ensure the water is wicking correctly into the compost. Check that the compost is not overly compacted and that the roots have reached the moisture source. If new, allow time for roots to establish into the reservoir area.
Water leaking from the planter base
Verify all connections and seams are secure. Ensure the planter is on a level surface. Check the water level indicator and refill port for any damage or improper seating.
Lid is difficult to open or close
Ensure no debris is obstructing the vents or locking mechanism. Gently clean the track for the lid and vents. Avoid forcing the lid; check for any warped components.
Compost seems waterlogged
Ensure the planter has adequate drainage if any is present (though designed for moisture retention). Reduce the frequency of manual watering if supplementing the reservoir system. Ensure the lid vents are open to allow airflow.
