Troubleshooting
Plant appears wilted despite water in the reservoir
Ensure the plant's roots are making contact with the water wick or soil is adequately moist. Check if the reservoir is functioning correctly and water is accessible to the plant.
Water indicator not tilting
The indicator tilts when the water level is low. If it's not tilting when you expect it to be low, ensure the pot is on a level surface and check for any debris obstructing the mechanism.
Algae growth in the water reservoir
Empty and clean the reservoir thoroughly with mild soap and water. Rinse well before refilling. Consider using distilled water if tap water contributes to algae.
Pot feels unstable
Ensure the pot is placed on a flat, stable surface. The tilting mechanism is designed for low water levels; when full, it should be stable.
