1. Insert tray to base and add water up to the indent connecting tray squares.

2. Add yCubes and let soak for 5 minutes.

3. Remove tray with yCubes and drain water from the base.

4. Return the tray with yCubes to the base and add the Nursery’s lid.

5. Place the Nursery on your Gardyn’s lid.

Tip: Hand wash your Nursery monthly, or between uses, whichever comes first.

If your yCubes’ rockwool is fully or partially dark green (saturated), you do not need to add more water.

If your yCubes appear mostly light green (dry), add water up to the line within each tray square. Soak for 5 minutes, then drain the water and replace the lid to return your Nursery to your Gardyn.

Wait for true leaves, roots .5-inch long out the bottom of the yCube, or yellowing cotyledons to know your plant is ready for plant food on your Gardyn.
