What is the one empty container for...I thought this is were you place the water for the plant to take in...am I wrong.

It is just a tranquility pool. Just for looks. I live in a warm climate and leave it empty because it gets stinky pretty quick. Also, use a turkey baster to empty it. Easiest way.

I water like you would any other plant and once in a while put some plant food in the water. I also have it in a planter where you can put water in the bottom part and the plant will use it as needed but must say it drinks up a lot of water. The plant has grown to almost double the size in a couple months.

you need to keep jugs of water near the plants. It's a fairly straight forward physics principle to draw the water from the jug to the plant. That said, you have to make sure there are NO kinks ANYWHERE along the hose line...any kink means it doesn't work (and if you read my review, you'll see that this is difficult to prevent, based on the manufacturing process).

You can, but you must keep it moist, spray it with distilled water, reverse osmosis water, or collected rain water, make sure you collect the water from a clean source and not under a synthetic source. I hope this satisfies your answer. Also to add keep the container a quarter to have full at all times, and don't keep the plant in full sun, if you do the plant will burn and dry along with the soil.

There is a tray inside the planter that has draining holes. It sits inside so it will drain on the inside so you have to empty it out every once in awhile. no biggie. Great planter.

There is one hose that comes out of the bottom that is hooked on the side. There is a tap to which one can attach a hose to water stuff and there is an overflow. The idea of plants on the top is rather silly.

It's kind of like a "set it and forget it" planter. I tend to both overwater and underwater, so this works wonderfully for me. Right now, I have the best parsley and basil I've ever started from seed. The wicks in the planter tubs are probably keeping the substrate at a consistent moisture level. I believe there are other planters that also use a similar method, but this one has a little LED alert to let you know when the water is running low.

Would that mean only water/nutrients? If so then the water would leak out of the lower levels. Each "planter" has a hole in the side at the bottom and then any excess from on top leaks into the next level.

The water was all absorbed. So, just throw away and recycle. I think it was a recyclable container.

I don't have a clue, but it is NOT promoted as a drinking water container. It is for plants, so your question is quite confusing unless you are watering plants that you plan on eating later.

Hood afternoon, I always buy it when I go away for more then a week. You need to place into the pot and just follow the instructions. Work very well. When I come back all of my flowers are well fed. I usually let the dry water to finish itself and I water less. But you can remove it if you wish to manually water your plants. It is a good product.

If water freezes in your area, the planter belongs inside during the cold months. I have seen it used in a solarium to start plants prior to growing season in colder climates.

It comes empty. You put the water in before it goes on the carboy. There is a line on the devise so you don't under-fill or over-fill it. This things is a very ingenious devise.

I have one planted in a container and bring it in in the winter. This is my 2 nd year and I have two blooms on it. Just set it outside last week! I let mine dry out before I water it. it grew over the winter and can't wait to see what it does this spring and summer

Kristen, it's supposed to go on the top and acts like a fertilizer. We didn't use it though. Good Luck!

It is only for adjusting the PH, if your plants have been doing good on tap water, I say they dont need it. Look at plant food to feed them- miraclegro or something.

Yes. Follow directions carefully to make sure water if flowing before you leave. Water container must be lower then the plant and you need to make sure water is being drawn up. I also attached a small stone to the bottom of tubing to make it sink to the bottom of the empty clear plastic gallon size milk jug.
