Prepare Pots
Notch one small hole in the rim of pots with a file to allow the tubing to pass through.. Then notch a hole in center of saucers if there isn't one.
Seal Pots
Next, spray pots & saucers inside and out with a waterproof sealant.
Placing the Pump
Place the pump in the bottom of your largest pot letting the wire drape over the back (where you notched it).
Stacking the Pots
Next, take your small pot with the notch and place it upside down over the pump. The notch will fit right over your small outlet wire. Run the rubber tubing up through the drainage hole of the planter.
Add Saucer for Base of Next Pot
Next stack a small saucer on top of the first pot and run the tubing through that.
Add Silicone Sealer
As you run your tubing through each of these holes, you will need to add a waterproof silicone sealer to close any gaps.
