Adjust the light height
• Start with the lower level and, as plants grow, adjust the lamp and harvest regularly before leaves touch
the lights.
• To adjust the height: hold the indoor garden with a hand and raise the lighting pole with the other hand
(fi g. 11).
• Keep a minimum distance of 1-2 inch/2-5cm between the plants and the light (fi g. 12).
Prune often your plants before leaves touch the lights
Indoor garden care
• Control the water level and add water when needed.
• Adjust the light pole.
• Prune often your plants. As your plants age you may see some brown or yellow leaves. Pull these to
keep the plant fresh and help ward off disease. Keep your garden clear of dead leaves. Remove dead,
brown stems at the base with scissors (do not pull).
• Replace the watering wicks every 6 months (see “Maintenance and cleaning” paragraph).
• For long period of absence, it is best to start with 2 new Lingots® that have autonomy up to 4 weeks.
For adult plants, watering autonomy is 1-2 weeks.
When to replace a Lingot®?
• It is time to replace your Lingot® when your plant no longer produces enough, doesn’t grow back after
harvest or has weak fl avor.
• Compost it or mix it with soil in your garden or fl ower pot.
• WARNING: during the Lingot® replacement, do not throw the plastic basket containing the Lingot®.
It will not be supplied with the new Lingot®.
• Lingots® from Veritable® brand are available on veritable-potager.com
Can I use my own seeds and/or soil?
The Lingots® have been selected for their rich fl avours, their rapid growth and their compact full grown
size fi t to the indoor garden.
If you try your own seeds, soil and/or nutrients, we can’t guarantee it will grow as effi ciently as with the
Lingots®.
The warranty will not be applicable if the device is damaged because of improper use.
