Self Wicking Planter
Step 6
While filling the Planter with 
potting soil, coil the rope wick up 
thru the soil along the sides of the pot. 
Note: The rope wick should never be 
exposed above the soil as this will 
cause it to dry out. We recommend 
the last coil to be at least 1” (2.5 cm) 
below the soil’s surface.
Step 7
Add plants to Planter following the 
recommended planting instructions.
Step 8
Jump start the wicking system by 
flooding the Planter with water. The 
excess water will drain out thru the 
bottom of the Planter and the rope 
wick. After the excess water has 
drained, the rope wick will always 
provide the correct amount of 
moisture for plants to thrive.
Note: Although the soil may appear 
dry on the surface, the wicking 
system will always supply plants the 
moisture needed at the roots. Also, 
the wicking system will drain off the 
excessive water after a rain shower.
With your Planter assembly 
attached to your dock, you are 
now ready to fill your Planter 
with your favorite plants.
