Blumat a trusted brand that has been creating high quality watering solutions since 1965. Blumat Watering Systems keep your houseplants watered. Simple, efficient, and easy to install; your plants take care of themselves while you are on vacation or busy simply living your life. Let Your Plants Look After Themselves! Never Over or Under-Water Again Blumat Classics function simply, using a siphon to pull water from a reservoir into a container, emitting it through the porous ceramic cone. Austrian-Engineered plant stakes that are superior in design, material quality, and durability. How does it work? As the soil dries, the ceramic cone delivers water gradually into the surrounding earth - thereby creating a vacuum within the cone which draws water from the nearby container of water. Once the soil is moistened the Blumat will cease flowing water. It waters your plants only as needed. Adjust Water Flow If the Blumat is over-watering your plant, you can place the reservoir lower (relative to the Blumat). The reservoir can be as far as 12″ below the Blumat while still watering your plant, albeit slowly.If the Blumat is under-watering your plant, you can raise the reservoir relative to the Blumat. The higher the reservoir, the faster the flow rate. Instructions Step 1 Fill a bowl with water. Remove the top of the Blumat. Put both the top and ceramic cone into the bowl for at least 15 minutes. Submerge the ceramic cones. Step 2 Remove the cone from the water, while keeping it as full of water as possible. Secure the green cap on top. *Tip: It is best to attach the cap and the ceramic bottom in the bowl - under the water. Step 3 Push the ceramic cone into the soil. Place the white anchor at the end of the 3mm tubing into a reservoir. How To Control Watering Speed The water level in the water container is the same or slightly lower than the green Blumat cap. This is the ideal position, water is dispensed according to the degree of moisture in the soil. Water discharge approximate: 75 ml / 24 h or 125 ml / 24 h (XL) The water level in the water container is significantly lower than the green Blumat cap. Watering is dispensed according to the degree of moisture in the soil. As the roots need more energy to draw in water, water discharge reduces - Water discharge approx: 50 ml / 24 h or 75 ml / 24 h (XL) The water level in the water container is higher than the green Blumat cap. This positioning allows water to flow from the container into the cone, the Blumat Classic therefore constantly discharges water even if the soil is moist enough.
