FAQs

How deep should I plant the PlantOMat?

Plant the PlantOMat so that the top of the tray is just below the soil surface.

How much sunlight do the bulbs need?

Most of the bulbs in PlantOMat prefer full sun or partial shade. However, it's best to check the specific light requirements of the bulbs in your tray.

Can I plant the PlantOMat in a container?

Yes, the PlantOMat is ideal for container gardening. Ensure the container has adequate drainage.

How often should I water the bulbs?

Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Potted plants may require more frequent watering. Check the soil moisture.

What should I do after the flowers have bloomed?

Allow the foliage to die back naturally, as this helps the bulbs store energy for the next year's blooms. Remove spent flower heads.

Is the PlantOMat safe for pets?

No. The bulbs are harmful if eaten. Keep the area away from pets.

What is the lifespan of these bulbs?

With proper care, these bulbs can last for many years, providing beautiful spring flowers season after season.

Troubleshooting

Bulbs not flowering.

Ensure the bulbs were planted at the correct depth. Check that the location receives adequate sunlight and water. Ensure you planted in the appropriate season.

Poor growth or stunted plants.

Check soil drainage. Adjust watering habits to avoid over or under-watering. Check the soil type is appropriate for the bulbs.

Plants are damaged.

Inspect for pests and diseases. Address the issue by using organic pest and disease controls. Protect from extreme weather.
