Full details

Its key benefit is independent plant care powered by the sun, but its reliance on sunlight means cloudy days may affect charging.

FAQs

How many plants can this system water?

The standard set includes 20 drip heads and is designed to water up to 20 plants.

How long does the water last?

The 10.5-liter water reservoir can provide enough water for up to 12 days of watering, depending on plant needs and environmental factors.

Do I need a garden tap or power outlet?

No, the AquaBloom is solar-powered and includes its own water reservoir, making it ideal for locations without tap or power access.

Can I increase the water storage capacity?

Yes, the water reservoir capacity can be expanded by connecting additional Gardena water reservoirs.

What kind of batteries does it use?

The system uses 3 rechargeable AA batteries (1.2 V, 2,400 mAh), which are included in the set.

How do I clean the system?

Periodically clean the filter in the reservoir and wipe the solar panel with a damp cloth. Ensure drip heads are free from debris.

Can I use this system indoors?

While primarily designed for balconies and terraces, it can be used indoors if there is sufficient sunlight for the solar panel and a suitable location for the reservoir and plants.

Troubleshooting

System not watering

Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight. Check that the reservoir has sufficient water. Verify all hose connections are secure and that drip heads are not clogged. Confirm a watering program is selected.

Low water pressure at drip heads

Check the filter in the reservoir for blockages and clean if necessary. Ensure the hose is not kinked or excessively long for the pump's capacity. Make sure drip heads are clean.

Batteries not charging

Clean the solar panel with a damp cloth. Ensure the solar panel is positioned for maximum sunlight exposure throughout the day. Replace batteries if they are old or no longer hold a charge.

Watering duration seems incorrect

Review the selected pre-set watering program and ensure it matches the plant's needs. Note that program effectiveness can vary with environmental conditions.
