How to Top Off Your Tank with Water and Plant Food

Edited

Kelby will let you know when it's time to top off your tank along with how much water and plant food to add through a task in the app.

Whenever you need to dissolve plant food to top off, follow these easy steps to ensure your plants get all the nutrients they need - no more, no less! Dissolving your plant food first ensures the nutrients remain bioavailable, or ready, for plant uptake and healthy growth.

  • Tip: Up-cycle common 1-gallon containers, such as water jugs or milk cartons. Just ensure it’s clean before using it!

2. Pour into Gardyn

Remove the small wooden cap to use the watering compartment opening in the lid.

3. Repeat as needed

A full Gardyn Home tank with a full dose of plant food has a total of 5 gallons of water and 2.5 teaspoons of dissolved plant food in it. A full Gardyn Studio tank with a full dose of plant food has a total of 4 gallons of water and 2 teaspoons of dissolved plant food in it.

For the healthiest growth, keep your tank half full or more at all times

The lower your water level gets, the more your tank's plant food concentration can become off balance. Regularly topping off your tank with fresh water and plant food helps stabilize your tank's plant food concentration, letting your plants thrive.
