  • Drill a hole into the barrel which should just be big enough to get the hoses trough.
  • Connect the corresponding hoses with the air pump, water pump.
  • Put the perlite in the Air-Pot.
  • Connect the hoses of the micro drip system on Air-Pot.

  • Throw the dirt water away.
  • Plant your seedling.
  • Position your UV lamp approx. 20cm over your seedling.
