1) The IDRIS irrigator should not be exposed to solid or liquid fertilizers, frost, extreme heat, or direct sunlight. It should be cleaned with water only and dried thoroughly after washing. 2) To use the IDRIS irrigator, fill the plastic bottle with water, screw the compatible adapter onto the bottle, and attach the bottle to the IDRIS tripod by screwing the tripod onto the bottle. 3) Anchor the tripod in the soil and pierce a small hole in the bottle base. The tripod and bottle will remain stable in the pot until the water is emptied, at which point the bottle can be refilled.
