Winter Care

• Drain - Unscrew the lower bolt at the base of your planter. When water stops draining you should tip the planter towards the drain plug to ensure all remaining water is released.
• Remove - Remove all plants, roots and soil (removing soil is optional).
• Inspect - Upon emptying your containers you will notice the wick is embedded with dirt and roots. This is completely normal and over the next several weeks the wick, soil and any remaining roots will dry out.
• Store (optional) - Planters should be stored inside or under protective covering if possible. If kept outside the planters should be stored with the drain plug removed and/or upside down to prevent water from entering the reservoir and freezing during winter weather.
