1. Start with these factory settings
Target moisture
92%
Adjustable from 0% to 98% in 2% steps.
Pump flow
High
Choose Low, Medium, or High.
Maximum water time
8 seconds
Adjustable from 2 to 20 seconds in 2-second steps.
Use these values as a starting point. Adjust them after observing how your plant, soil, pot, and water placement respond.
2. How automatic watering works
- About every six hours, the Cube wakes and checks the soil at that moment.
- If moisture is at or above the target, it does not water and returns to sleep. This is normal.
- If moisture is below the target, it waters once, waits 15 seconds, and checks again.
- It stops as soon as the target is reached. It repeats only if needed, up to three pump runs total.
3. Refill and battery alerts
Blue refill alert
The blue LED flashes when the water tank may need refilling.
Red battery alert
The red LED flashes and pumping is blocked when the battery level is 5% or lower.
4. Power and included accessories
Operate the Cube with four matching 1.5 V alkaline AA batteries or regulated 5 V USB-C power.
