How It Works
Your Self-Watering Pot — Explained
Greenzy pots use a sub-irrigation system. Here is exactly how to use it to keep your plant perfectly hydrated.
1
Fill the Reservoir
Pour water into the outer transparent base until about ¾ full. Never fill above the max line.
2
Let the Plant Absorb
The inner pot wicks water up through soil naturally. The plant drinks exactly what it needs.
3
Watch the Level
Check every 5–7 days. The transparent reservoir lets you see exactly how much water remains.
4
Let It Empty First
Allow the reservoir to fully empty before refilling. This prevents root rot and overwatering.
5
Adjust in Winter
In winter, plants drink less. Extend refill intervals to every 10–14 days.
Golden Rules
5 Rules Every Greenzy Owner Should Know
🚫
Never Overfill
Allow reservoir to empty completely before refilling. Overfilling causes root rot — the #1 reason plants die.
☀️
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Most indoor plants need bright indirect light. Direct harsh sun (especially 12–4pm) scorches leaves.
🌡️
Pakistan Summer Note
In peak summer (40°C+), water evaporates faster. Check reservoirs every 4–5 days during May–July.
🧹
Wipe the Leaves
Dust blocks sunlight absorption. Gently wipe leaves with a damp cloth every 2–3 weeks.
💊
Feed in Growing Season
Fertilize once a month from March to October. Skip fertilizing in winter when plants are resting.
