Step 1: Measure the diameter of the pot.
Step 2: Drill 2 holes on the PVC pipe with the measured diameter.
Step 3: Apply KG lubricant on both ends of the PVC pipe.
Step 4: Connect the PVC pipe to the PVC elbows on both ends to form a U-shaped structure.
Step 5: Spray the assembled PVC structure to ensure a clean finish.
Step 6: Measure the desired lengths of ropes for hanging the system. Insert the ropes into the top of the PVC pipe and pass them through to create hanging loops.
Step 7: Prepare the wick ropes. Connect the wick ropes to the bottom of the plants to facilitate water absorption.
Step 8: Place the plants into the pre-drilled holes on the top side of the PVC pipe. Ensure they are securely positioned.
Step 9: Hang the product on a wall or balcony using the hanging loops created in Step 6.
Step 10: Fill the PVC pipe with water through the holes drilled in Step 2. The wick ropes will absorb water from the bottom and deliver it to the plants, providing a self-watering mechanism.
Step 11: Regularly check the water level in the PVC pipe and refill it as needed to maintain proper hydration for the plants.
Note: Before assembling the system, make sure the PVC pipe and elbows are free from any debris or sharp edges to avoid damage to the plants or wick ropes. Additionally, ensure the wick ropes are properly inserted and in contact with the bottom of the plant pots for effective water delivery.
Please follow safety guidelines and handle drilling tools carefully during the assembly process. Also, consider the appropriate location for hanging the system to ensure optimal sunlight exposure for the plants.
