Use Instructions
Plant your tropical water plants in the ThermoPlanter following normal planting guidelines. The ThermoPlanter is designed to warm soil and extend the growing season in northern climates and help tropical plants survive the milder winters of southern locales. Once your tropical plants are properly planted, submerge the ThermoPlanter in your pond, water garden, or water feature. The thermostatically-controlled 70 watt heater automatically turns on when needed to create the ideal conditions for your tropical water plants.
Care Instructions
Thermostatically-controlled unit can be submerged in your pond or water garden and remain plugged in year-round. In northern climates, simply remove from your pond during winter and store in an appropriate location (barn or garage). In southern climates, keep the planter submerged in your water feature to offer extra warmth to your tropical water plants and help ensure survivability through the winter.

2009 was my first season with the Thermoplanter. I was quite pleased with the performance! Living in climate zone 5a, my summers are not ideal for tropical waterlilies. However, I was able to plant a Panama Pacific tropical waterlily in May in a Thermoplanter submerged into a half whiskey barrel. It is now October 8th, and I am still averaging one flower per day. My electric bill has not noticeably increased either. Once in August, I unplugged the Thermoplanter and saw a sharp decline in plant health for 2-3 days, before reconnecting the Thermoplanter to my outdoor receptacle. The waterlily once again perked up and was flowering the next day. Often I would have 5 flower buds visible at one time.
