dripping with water).

4Gently remove each plant from its Grow Surface Opening and place the plants upright in the Bowl so that

the roots are in the water.

Hint: Note where the plants were positioned on the Grow Surface.

5Turn the Grow Surface upside down on the towel, with the back of the Pump Tower facing you. (see top right photo)

6Take out Pump Filter, rinse it (no soap) and set it aside.
