The Oasesbox® can be used as a standalone or in sets. One way to set up your planters is to use a grow bag across three Oasesboxes®.
Following the instructions below and you will have a fully set up grow bag planter. Alternatively, our instruction book can be downloaded from our instructions page.
- Put the Insert into the Planter and fill the cone with potting compost or soil.
- Carefully pack the compost or soil into the centre of the cone and ensure that the potting compost or soil is filled up to the top of the Insert.
- The compost or soil has to be in close contact with the grow bag.
- Mark and cut out at the bottom of the grow bag. Place the grow bag on top of Oasesbox®.
- Press the grow bag on the Oasesbox units to ensure, that the compost or soil and grow bag is in close contact.
- Cut out at the top of the grow bag and place your plant in the centre.
- Now, you are ready to fill your Oasesbox® with water. Fill each Planter with water through the connection holes at the side: 15 litres for water-loving plants, 10 litres otherwise.
The secret of the Oasesbox® is, that the water is absorbed directly by the roots of the plants or flowers taking only as much as required. If your plants or flowers need more water, fill the container(s) to approx. 15 litres. Otherwise, 10 litres are recommended. This keeps your plants or flowers sufficiently hydrated and the water reservoir can last up to 2 – 3 weeks before you need to top up depending on the environmental conditions.



Note:
The time to refill the water in the Planter will depend on the water demand of your plants and environmental conditions (indoor or outdoor, sun or shadow, …). You can check the water level regularly, which is easy to do with the manual water level meter. If the water level is low, refill the reservoir.
The water level meter is printed on A4 1mm card-board: Cut the indicated stripes along the vertical lines. The horizontal lines (5, 10, 15 litres) approximate the amount of water in the Oasesbox®. Guide a cut strip through the watering hole along the wall until touching the bottom. The water will colour the cardboard and you will have an approximate idea of how much water is left. Upon drying the carton, the strip can be reused many times over.
