Put a pipette or eye dropper underwater and into one of the holes on the inside top of the Blumat cap and squeeze out air bubbles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 8.5px;\">2.

Sometimes the brown tubing can have a \u201cdent\u201d from sitting too long or from the top being tightened down too much.

Pre-moisten a container of potting mix without perlite and with extra peat moss and\/or cocoa. Put this in the hole before \u201cplanting\u201d the Blumat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 8.5px;\">5.
