Water bottle circumsize: EU standard (25[mm])

Instructions

Insert the dripping element into the bottle hold so that there's a bit of space inbetween. Fill the bottle with approx. 75% of water and screw the bottle into the bottle hold. Gently unscrew the dripping adjustment screw and squeeze the bottle to create a sucking effect. Repeat until you think your plant has enough water per minute e.g. pepper needs much more water than tomato.

Maintainance

You might need to remove dry leafs and clean the plants off pests. If you see that the bottles are "sucked out" and no water is getting through, unscrew the bottle to let the air in and screw it in again. Gently squeeze the bottle to create the sucking effect. If you want the fruits to ripe faster, you might need to turn the plant around evenly to the expected effect. Change the soil once you feel like your plants are not bearing enough fruit.

Replication

If you want to grow more plants of a specific kind, try using a growing ball such as this one: https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005003627906318.html It's enough to remove some skin off the branch and place the ball filled with fresh soil on top of it. Check the progress and once it's been properly rooted, you may plant it in a separate flowe pot.

Winter

You may use a foldable greenhouse such as this in order to help your plants survive the winter time: https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005005467293996.html?

Fruit picking

Try to pick the fruit right before it's fully grown. Once it turns 100% ripe, it will attract pests and you might experience losses.
