Step 1: Site foundation construction

1.Dig a hole in the ground, just big enough to fit the basin.

2. Place the basin in, press it down, and move it around to level it.

3.Place two hollow bricks horizontally inside the basin, leaving space in the middle for the water pump.

Step 2: Cutting the board and drilling holes to fit the water pipes.

4. Measure the internal length and width of the pot, cut the cutting board to size using a table saw, and fit it into the pot's opening.

5. Drill a round hole in the center of the board, the same diameter as the copper water pipe.

6. Drill a hole of the same size in the center of the bottom plate of the planter box.

7. Cut a copper tube to the appropriate length and insert it through the two holes to test the fit, ensuring a proper tightness.

Step 3: Apply silicone sealant to prevent water leakage.

8. Apply a ring of silicone sealant around the bottom edge of the cutting board (apply in two L-shapes).

9. Press the board into the basin opening, pressing firmly at all four corners.

10. Smooth the sealant seams with your fingers, wiping away any excess sealant. Let it sit to seal and waterproof.

Step 4:Install water pump

11. Apply a ring of silicone sealant around the bottom edge of the cutting board (apply in two L-shapes).

12. The flexible hose passes through the bottom plate of the flower box and the inside of the copper pipe from bottom to top, and then extends out from the top of the copper pipe.

13. Connect the power supply
