How do I clean the planters?
Clean the planters with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic.
How long does the water in the reservoir last?
It depends on the plant, the environment, and the size of the planter. Typically, refilling once or twice a week is sufficient.

How do I replace the Vermiculite bag?
The Vermiculite bag should be replaced periodically. Simply remove the old bag and insert a new one.
Troubleshooting
Water level not decreasing
Check if the Vermiculite bag is properly inserted. Ensure the soil is not overly compacted, which can hinder water absorption.
Plant wilting despite water in the reservoir
The roots may be unable to absorb water. Check for root rot and adjust watering frequency accordingly. Ensure that the plant is getting adequate sunlight.
Water leaking from the planter
Make sure the planter is properly assembled and the drainage holes are not blocked. Check for any cracks in the plastic.
