Water-Minder™

• ArtStone Planters have an intricate self-watering system that, in an indoor environment, refeeds water to the plant via its roots. The system has a bottom reservoir in which water accumulates and allows the plant to grab refreshment when needed.
• The Water-Minder™ disk is glued to the bottom of the planter and secured by a peg in the middle, assuring a tight fit so the water feature does not free itself from the planter.

For Outdoor Use:

• Turn the ArtStone planter upside down. Remove the rubber plug at the bottom of the planter so water can drain freely as to avoid overwatering and unwanted amounts of water that could drown or impair the health of the plant. Simply slide the plug into the top of the planter for safekeeping, in the event the plant is eventually moved indoors.

Suggestions For Watering:

• Feel the soil in the planter. If the soil is moist, the plant will not need more water. If the soil is dry, add small amounts of water. DO NOT OVERWATER.

Suggestions For Storage:

• ArtStone Planters are made of a resin composite mixture which provides durability and strength in all environments. In colder temperatures, covering or bringing your planters indoors extends the life of the planter.

Tips and Installation:

For best results in potting and sustaining healthy plants:

• Invert container and remove rubber stopper. For safekeeping, slip rubber stopper into top of container so you can locate it, and use the container come fall for bringing your outside plants in, extending the life of the plants.
• Add enough medium density potting soil to cover the bottom and up to 1/3 of the container.
• Add plants allowing enough space for them to grow, leaving a considerable amount of room between each plant.
• Add soil to remaining empty pockets and fill the container, not quite to the rim, leaving about 1" free space from the top.
• Water accordingly and often, especially in mid to late summer high-temperature months.
• As always, for the protection and longevity of your containers, Novelty recommends moving your plants/containers indoors. Empty container of soil and residual water and reinsert rubber stopper for use indoors, enjoying your seasonal plants well into the fall.

In an Indoor environment:

Novelty prides itself on providing containers that are designed 'horticulturally correct'.

You will find a unique Water-Minder™ feature at the bottom of the ArtStone planter. Do not remove this feature, as it is important for water to accumulate in the reservoirs to recirculate and feed your indoor plants. There is no need to add stones or clay pieces to the bottom.

• Follow planting tips above. It is important to keep the rubber stopper in the bottom of the planter. Do not remove.
