Caring for plants in Lechuza Smart Pots
Here are some steps that must be followed in the case of watering recently transplanted plants in Lechuza smart pots:
- for a period of approximately 3 months, the plant will be watered normally, on top of that, until the roots develop and grow in the holes of the water tank - "growth stage";
- to check if the roots have developed sufficiently in the new system, after a few weeks you can fill the tank with water up to half;
- if the water level drops in the following days, it means that the roots have grown in the holes of the tank and you can start using the Lechuza system;
- fill the water tank up to "max." - "wet phase" - LECHUZA now takes care of your plants;
- if the water level does not decrease, it means that the "growth stage" must be extended - a new test will be done in the following weeks, during which the plant is watered normally, on top of that;
- once the "growth stage" is passed, the tank is filled to the maximum and the plant is fed directly from the system;
- when the indicator level shows "min." you don't have to refill the tank immediately - the substrate is still wet enough to supply water to the plant; this new stage is called the "dry stage".
The "dry stage" is different for each plant and depends on several factors: the species, the variety of plants, the position of the planter, the humidity of the air and water, the temperature conditions and the requirements of the substrate.
We recommend a "dry phase" of 2 - 10 days, with the exception of plants such as cacti, where we suggest a little longer.
